December 13, 201114 yr Author comment_571366 Tighe quoted me $210 to gring it to the hydro specs of what ever I wanted.. I'm going to keep running hydro, as I don't plan to rev over 8grand.. If you could give me the info to this other place, that would be good, I'll ring them in the morning Report
December 13, 201114 yr comment_571370 Half a dozen companies do them- I wanted a torquey cam & stock valve springs (0.4" lift) so 270deg was fine, & I ended up going with the Crow grind as they open faster ( The 50thou lift is slightly higher). They all cut much wilder cams than these. Report
December 13, 201114 yr Author comment_571381 I'm getting the tighe 20-60 260dur .423 lift.. Peak at 6500rpm As the most common is 25-65 270dur peak @ 7500.. I don't really want to be revving that hard, and itl be shit to drive on the street. So I'm going a tad smaller, as mentioned above.. Due to the fact that it's going to be a daily, with 50/50 street/highway Report

December 23, 201114 yr Author comment_573127 sorry about not making any posts.. completely forgot! engine with the head and cam off :) edit: wrong photo.. but you get the idea whilst taking everything apart.. i somehow managed to break a lifter, so i replaced them all the head ready to go to " aussie heads " and the cam to " tighe cams " baught new carpet for the car, but didnt register the post.. and being a fire fighter i attended an aus post truck fire.. 3 weeks later, my carpet still isnt here.. so I'm thinking it was on the truck picked my cam up on tuesday with the following specs got my head the next day ( wednesday ) acid dipped, polished, and decked now it goes together!

December 23, 201114 yr Author comment_573156 Big plans for this thing? Looks sweet as is. possibly.. thats the most I'm going to do to the 5k, possibly may rebuild the bottom end.. next plans are to ( hopefully get my carpet ) put bucket seats in the front.. and tidy up the interior.. then a white respray, pump my guards real nice, 15x10 wheels with nice strech, then lower it... and once I'm over the 5k, hello engine conversion!
