Spec:
Mahle low comp
T34 (Probably change to a GT30 once run in.)
Grays ( May need bigger)
Ported head
BD14 Inlet
BD10 Exhaust
Lightened & Balanced bottom end
Knifed edge crank
Long Studded (6)
Cometic Head Gasket
Big wing sump
500 Cooler
Charge Cooler.
6 Paddle clutch
Etc Etc
And thanks for the replies folks...
