3.77 not locked. NO IDEA WHAT SO EVER about power. I couldnt even guess Rhys.
If it was about 80kW/110hp i guess id be happy with that. About 140hp at the motor (no more than that)

Cheers mate, yeh I reckon its is the original sticker. Motor from Esky Ghia has opened up a whole lot more power.
I've been focusing on others because I had 4cars and needed to get rid of them to keep parents happy and been flat out with Final Tafe exams and sheet. Now im down to 2cars, but Cortina needs a leak fixed (water getting into cabin) and a decent stereo.
I used a durapro h/gasket theyre thicker than the felpro and cheaper although I do not say they are better. Mine still works out to be around 11:1 comp. I have it all worked out on an excel spreadsheet somewhere.

Was told once 11:1 cant be run on pump fuel?? Well mine runs pretty alright on PULP. Lonsdale Head joint the one not on O'sullivans is a distributor for durapro. Russ' RS is getting dent in door fixed soon then getting tuned. Mike Dale is no longer at Blackwood Dyno though.....
Doing Accounting at Tafe but finish this yr, applied for Uni next year, so even less $'s? =ouch for another 1.5yrs.

I believe standard comp is in the 9's. Yeh if you go speak to them (they are bro's) they should be able to help you. Russ didnt ding it, he had it dinged for him. Its been like it since it been on the road but just getting fixed now. Change to Uni because can only go as far as Advanced Diploma at Tafe and to support my car habits later in life I figure a Degree will pay its self off in time. So thats why Im gunna do Uni.  Rhys
