February 21, 200422 yr Author comment_5692 i was talking to my brother tonight....all is going well......i can't get the pistons i wanted so the ones i have will have to do. the engine rebuilder is still working on the block and crank.....the cam has been done and is back at the workshop. everythying has yet to be balanced. the head was done by Head Torque at mansfield if anyone is interested. i should have everything back by this friday.....then the real action starts to take place..... :| anywho.....back to getting inebreated (spelling) :) Report
February 22, 200422 yr comment_5697 Jamie. Ive put a dip stick into my bare block and the level is a good inch or so clear of the crank. Report

Thats about it for now.....heres some pictures.....gunna paint it once i have it back together.... also found out that the weber carby i have is what they used to use on the 4.2 litre landcruisers......:) Report
February 27, 200422 yr comment_5809 hmm, think that one might be a little too big for the ol 5k :| Report
February 28, 200422 yr Author comment_5833 oh that statement about 120hp at the flywheel is about right.....i put a couple of specs through the dyno 2000 program and came out with 122@6500rpm. thats providing that all goes well.....i may even have more....:| Report
February 28, 200422 yr Author comment_5849 sorry people........ben pointed something out to me tonight on the dyno program.....i had the valves set at a standard head size valves.......now i have recalulated and i am pleased to say that i am hopefully going to have a car with get this........ 150hp @ 6500rpm. :| :) And 121pounds per foot of torque @ 6500rpm so now Mr excel.......EAT MY DUST!!!!!!!.......or tyre smoke...... :laff: :laff: Report
February 29, 200422 yr comment_5861 Xany: Hope your gonna use a 4 speed....a 5 speeds probably not gonna last long if you make it to 150hp Report
February 29, 200422 yr Author comment_5862 good point......however i shall see how the 5 speed goes.....since i do alot of highway driving.... Report
February 29, 200422 yr comment_5863 why do u say that ben? (intrssted to know, not geting annoyed or what eva) - i would of always thought that a 5 speed would be better for more speed / Hp - more gears? But theres prob a reason why I'm rong lol Report
