Hey Guys
I remember all of this news from when i worked at Butlers Toyota, Toowoomba. Robbie was an owner along with his brother and a third person (Names i know). I heard that it ran 12.7 with fuel injection but sounds a bit far fetched, although 13's is good. I bought the Carbies of one of the mechanics, who bought them from Robbie. I never got to use them but had done a sweet little KE25 up when i was in my early twenties, late teens. The front carbies venturies were 38's and the rear were 34's. I just sold these the other day to a guy from South Australia. Many problems over the years forced me to let my little pride and joy turn to trash. I was once going to build a good engine and a mechanic from the BMW side recommended a cam of 41/70.
Robbie used to race in off road, when i worked at Toyota. He raced a bombed Land Cruiser Ute. The mullet was the go even in the early 90's when i was there :yes: . Anyway i have a couple pics for ya, of the Carbies, how they were today (Hardly used, just old) and of my little ride, back in the day. I have recently sold it all to a guy who is going to ressurect her. He just told me that the engine still ran after sitting for over ten years. The mechanic who built it was a superb mechanic who worked for Toyota for 25 years when i was there-so knew the in's and out's of these engines. The engine itself is more then 20 years old from rebuild and as far as i know, does not blow oil or smoke and i thought i cooked it in traffic, that is why it sat!!!
