Finaly my engine is done! I shall drive it home tommorrow. The dyno won't be able to be done probably into the new year. The engine specs are now: Sierra Unleaded head, 45mm inlet 38mm exhaust, 3 angle cut Heavily ported Matched manifolds to head Kent RL30 cam kit Overhauled twin 45mm Webers Cermaic coated Pacemaker big bore extractors (Cheers Rhys) Sierra 80amp alternator Remapped distributor running Crane XR700 Fireball ignition. I will post pictures soon. What a great Chrissy present!

Ok Here's a picture of the engine bay, full of chrome and polish!  It pulls so hard I can't believe it! My old engine just gave up above 5000 rpm, this thing pulls until 7000! I had a V6 VT commodore behind me as I pulled onto the Tonkin HWY at Guilford Rd and left him behind! HA HA HA! The dyno will be on the second week of Jan and Registered shortly there after. The brakes aren't register-worthy so I am getting ventilated Capri discs and the front brakes overhauled with better pads all round at the same time. That'll be all the running gear mods done (except for LSD later next year[:p]) Finally a car that go's after 8 years!

That looks tops mate. Rolly has quite a rep for building very fast Pinto's, so she must be a flyer.

That is a lovely engine bay. Without a doubt one of the best I have ever seen! [:u] Looking back at the other photos you have uploaded, you have definitely put in some attention to detail. Now you get to reap the rewards. Good luck with it!
