Hey Mate, Looks like your esky is coming along great!  Love the drop tank, makes me want to do the same, will you run 98 or E-85. What sort of power you looking for?

thanks guys,

i would like to run E85 at one point but for now ill run 98. Yer i orginally didnt want to go that way with the tank but got talked into plus puts more wieght over the rear, so in the end glad i went that way.
Iam hoping to see 350rwhp with the standard head, but i have a spare head that ill get worked and cams once its running.

with a bit of luck iam hoping to see it running around september, all glass is finally in, wired up head and tail lights, and ready to be sent down to get tailshaft, radiator and exhaust made.

well been a while sence my last post, my plan to get it running by the end of the year was close and in reach until i had engine dramas.

All the exhaust got finished off along with a few other things and then went off to the auto electricians and all was looking good untill they started it. Extremly long story short ran for 10min made a bad chain slap noise and air intake temp was reaching 90deg plus befor turning it off.
Turned out to be a few things wrong with the engine along with a crack in bore number one. So devostating but its happened so just gotta keep on going to get it done, have a new engine getting built and hoping to see it back in and running late January ealry February with a bit of luck.

here's a picture of it the day i got it back befor i pulled the engine out, its not completly finished. Vacuum lines were just done roughly as forgot about them and few other bits and pieces need to be cleaned up but 98% of it will look the same when it goes back in for hopefuly the final time.
