Well, dropped the three door off at Harvey Gibbs today. Made the 140 mile journey with no probs apart from the clutch slipping a bit every time she boosted.
She's having a 390bhp build with new block etc, so looking forward to the journey back home in a few weeks!
Just wanted to say what a top bloke Harvey is, made everything clear and was full of useful info, and his Wife Anne was a pleasure to talk to .

I will keep you all posted!

 

You wont be disappointed I have that spec in my Cortina hope your getting a new clutch as well gonna need it.

 

Yeh got a 6 paddle AP going in.

 

your going to have a hell of a drive home mate


better go hydraulic clutch while your at it marty ,save the old calf muscle

 

I've got the cams for that spec mate only done 2k and supplied by Harvey also have the chip to suit mine

 

Bet you can't wait! She will be quick with that power

 

A build for 390?? Stock parts will piss that, just a decent blower, injectors and good map etc, or has your blocked cracked or something??

 

Going for a 200 block and long studding so I can add more power in the future! Lol

 

390 will only be used while running in the engine pete

 

You reckon I'll need that James? How much will that cost you reckon?

 

couldnt tell you how muchharvey would charge to supply and fit marty ,but while the engine is out it will make it far easier .

would definatley be worth it if your going for more power in the future

 

That's what I WANTED to hear, good man, but go for the power straight away

Tbh a strong proven 390-400 with similar torque will be a hoot on the road

 

I bet this wont be cheap matey.

 

lol, straight to the point Glenn

In other words , how much is it costing Martyn?

 

Lol, all I will say guys, is that I have negotiated what I think to be a fair price with Harvey, and he has been very reasonable.




In other words, fuck off

 

Sounds good buddy.
Fast reliable engines ain't cheap, doesn't matter where you go...

Cheers Paul

 

Gonna bring mine in December for mapping, can't wait to drive it back to Holland when it's done

 

Well you know lol. Its always worth asking.

 

My Harvey Gibbs 400/400 engined 3dr was awesome to drive on the road - you wont be disappointed mate

 

Are you using a t34 for this build mate

 

Yes bud.

 

Let's hope you don't get terrible weather over here then lol

 

Fingers crossed
