  1. hey, ive got a little '55 id like to keep up with traffic, was thinking mild head, cam, extractors, and super charger my question is, someone gave me a 5k but the bloody things missing a piston and rod, think they pulled it out to measure for turbo piston set up, is the difference between the 4k and 5k in the stroke or bore? can i use the 4k rods i have laying around? and how do i get rid of the hydrolic (?) lifters?

  2. i think i put ke55 discs on the front of a ke10 once by using the 55 disc, caliper and backing plate, redrilled strut and tapped it out to suit larger bolts (or fill backing plate holes and redrill them if you want) ran a ke20 master cyl to upsize for the discs (ke 10 was drum) but had to modify those bracket thingys on the firewall to get it in flush, rear was a 55 diff so drums and stud patern were right, it stopped well enough for me

  3. hi, its the '55 guy, the name is steve, and thanks to all the fellas at the club, i was a little worried turning up, not to sure how the reception was going to be being a stranger and all but everyone made me feel welcome so big thanks for that, don't know if i should thank you for all the ideas, was under that bloody car till midnight 'reseting' springs haha lost the grandma car look.... big time! found a cyl head guy i trust, superchargers prooving a little hard to locate, and stuff those exaust shop prices, i,ll make something next weekend .
