If they are in very good condition and clean i'd say.... it's up to you! :laff: Report

July 22, 201115 yr Author comment_541658 A bit has happened in the past week, engine has been taken out, me and a few mates have degreased, sanded, primed, sanded, vacuumed out sanded the engine bay at it is finally ready to paint. Upon taken the battery tray out, i was pleasantly surprised to see a decent sized whole where there should be metal. Mate is coming round sunday to patch that up and all should be good! My engine is still at the work shop, i delivered some goodies which included new points, plugs and leads for him to set up. Should be getting that back within the week. :dance: Picking up some new/old doors which will replace the dented/creased old ones. I did decided to snatch the 3k-b twin carbs and today picked up 2 carby kits because i have been told that thhey had been sitting in a shed for the past 15 or so years :glare: Also ordered some new seat belts and thats about it so far :) Pictures, should be in order. Enjoy! Report

July 22, 201115 yr Author comment_541667 HAHHA :laff: it was sooo sketchy man, as soon as the engine got off the mounts the whole pergola creaked, hence the makeshift support beam in picco #2 Report
July 24, 201115 yr Author comment_542084 Today I had the rust cut out and replaced by Ryan (SLO-030) he did a sweet job, and the engine bay has now been painted and I am very happy with the results. Tomorrow the seat belts will be put in and I get to pick up the carbies so hopefully I can make a start at putting the kit through them. I am anxiously waiting for the call from the mechanic to tell me to pick up my engine. So until then I guess all i can do is wait. Picks to come. Tom Report

August 4, 201115 yr Author comment_544536 Alright, went round the mechanics this arvo, and he tells me that the broken linkage on the 3k-b carbs will be ready to pick up tomorrow, but still no time of finish for the engine. Apparently hes having troubles with push rod lengths, because of the cam and valve springs. Has anyone had this issue and if so what did you do to overcome it? This has been a known issue for about a month and no progress... Getting sick of it! Cheers Tom Report
