July 19, 201313 yr Author comment_662229 what fuel system setup are you running? looks gnarly!! there is 3 044 fuel pumps one to supply the surge pot then the other 2 supply the motor there is a twin inlet single return fuel rail with 890cc injectors its all plumbed up with 8an (1/2") aeroflow fittings and braided hose should be good for about 800hp worth of fuel :lol: Report

August 10, 201313 yr Author comment_664352 Its been a few weeks since I last did an update on the rolla. Things are still progressing along we now have some new sparco race seats and the heavy duty tail shaft is made. We now have a panel beater and spray painter on board to help finish the rest of the body and paint work. Report

August 28, 201313 yr comment_665718 I might be interested in helping you out down the track once I've finished doing neils rolla I'm in woodcroft That might be an option for me, the body work looks really good, no filler and all metal from what I have seen, just the way I like it! Report

October 19, 201313 yr Author comment_669680 Its been a while since ive done an update on the rolla so here's where we are at the moment We finally have all the body work done and all the repairs are in primer ready for the rest of the car to be rubbed down and put in primer ready for paint while the car was getting the rest of the body work finished off neil and I started having a closer look at the motor. We pulled the rocker covers off and didn't like what was hiding underneath was it was full of black sludge so it was time to rip it apart and see how bad everything really is After stripping the motor down the bottom end was in good condition bore and bearing wise so after a lot of discussions we are now building a new motor with a heap of goodies The cylinder head was drop out to my good friend Frank Intini from Race Engineering which he is doing all new Ferrea stainless valves 1mm oversized exhaust and massive amount of porting to make it really flow plus all new retainers , valve locks and valve springs to suit the new camshafts The bottom end hasn't been for gotten about either its getting hot tanked , bored & honed decked and receiving new 1mm oversized forged pistons and a set of I beam rods full ARP stud kit for the bottom end and the crank and rods flywheel and harmonic balancer are all being balanced so stay tuned there's more to come Report
