Gecko71 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 That's quite an impressive set-up. Any idea what the out-put would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 That's quite an impressive set-up.Any idea what the out-put would be? Well the misses seca (4age auto, mild exhaust) makes 89.5whp on the dyno at work but I have seen 4age's with a few dollars spent on them make up to 110whp, I'm hoping to get 100 which I don't think is a big leap but I do think the stock cams will let me down. YAY Trev's back!!! :hmm: I am... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 hey trev :) looking good! ae71's are the shiz... how did you go with t50 rebuild you mentioned? parts/price/difficulty etc? It wasn't a complete brand new rebuild, All the syncros and gear sets were perfect, I had to replace 2 bearings in it but it is practically like new now. Dunno if you know yet but I left road & track a few months back so you wont see me there. thats a very clean 71 you have there trev did you still want some rear springs for it?? Thanks, Nah I bought some new King Lows for it (in the car pictured) but they haven't settled yet. At last a good example of 4age with a real fuel system ,or am i just showing my age :hmm: Also looks a lot tider engine bay. With out all that cluter of fuel injection and wire bird nest cast over the motor . I like it great job ,i bet it sound good to. rob Hopefully it will be great once its on the road, That engine bay shot is actually not the final shots either (still doing wiring then). Alot of people comment on how clean the wiring is but I just like to take my time. Thanks, Sounds alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
