Shall have a see after bingly might see something

as most of my equipment got stolen and my refurbed mig welder that i used once got stolen i had to invest in another one so i bought this one a while back of the net [/URL]

what would you drop of the list ?
the situation ive got is
both block i have one is a 1293 needed a rebore but has all the modification
the other block is a 1275 standard bore but has the 5/16 holes for the gearbox
i have a spare set of oil jets
already got drops,box,rockers,partly a head now will need the chambers opening up and a crownwheel and pinion for the lsd but not checked if its a 3.4 or not
and have a gt20

Worked rods and worked crank on a turbo motor are not really necessary since the engine wont rev enough for them to be beneficial. The thrust mod isnt necessary if you use the now more popular RTS clutch and only the bare minimum over bore needed to freshen up the engine, so1275 to 1293 1293 to 1310.

Oh, and the straight cut drops are rather anoying lol, butt not as anoying as the straight cut final drive lol. My ears are still ringing😁

Are you running standard crank and rods on yours colin?

1... 2... 3... straight cut = fun, final not = genious

I've experienced the rarther racked of the sc stuff on another engine.
dunno if I'm the only one but I got used to it and quite liked it after a while maybe because I'm young ?

I love sc whine to hell and back!!!!! But sat in 4th for hours driving home from shows... silent final is bliss

Glad I'm not the odd one out then and my solution after A while Is headphones in and Spotify on

new loweeeerrrrrr coil spring [/URL]

also got some sc drop gears and bushes too
[/URL]

How's that RTS clutch looking?

Did you find the problem?

Sorted a while back
Probably the best thing I've done in a while no clutch slip so far
walked away and came back to it and it was the bolts
I think my next one I'm going to use some threaded bar and some flange nuts of some sort

this week purchase pistons

Unusual dish. Have they been modified?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Nope standard forged so I could use them for a k head if I decide to go that route

What make are the Pistons ?

Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph

They are je buddy
Didt really want to go with plus 20 omegas well proven just fanced a slightly bigger bore to be different

Hopefully drop the crank off next week also
