My compulsive buying streak has got the better of me - gone and bought another car, damnit. Neither got the space time or money for this. So lucky it's in alright shape - and starts on the key! I'll have some progress reports later.
Keeping the pinto in it, just rebuilding it, some new followers, double valve springs, get the head skimmed to up the CR, get triple angle valve seats bored whilst the head is away and so on.
The question I have is thus: what is involved in converting the head to run unleaded? As there is only one LRP garage round Potters Bar and they've got me over a barrel with their 4-star prices.
Ta for any advice.
P.S. the stickers are now off - will get some pics today.
