thanks wil , hopefully bring them both this one on a a frame .yes im making a clutch ,but i think im going to get a special driven plate made up too like i mentioned in another post .
biggest hold up is the transmission , iv been hoping to find something rusty and cheap on ebay in the straight cut variety ,but no luck ,they seem to be v rare these days ,and at the mo i cant afford the 460 for the gears and cross pin ,..very frustrating lol
but its the same for everyone i suppose.

bit of inlet flowage, bottom line unmodified,next 2 lines, stages in development.




the little vertical tag on the end is the flow as the valve lift went to max ,max flow was 128 stock ,now at 153cfm .but the really important bit is the max cam lift at 7.3mm. flow has gone from 118 to 132 so far .

That's what you get for using a fiat head! Fiat engines eat head gaskets for breakfast *happy*

Theres a fine display of the cooling system in the 6th image on page 3. Maybe it's air cooled and the tensioner pulley is acting like a fan *oh well* *tongue*

I have some new +0.020" Hypatecs with rings and pins sitting here looking for a home.

They are slotted though. Nothing special.

Cost me about £100. Let you have them for £90.
