Mullet box for me too

Used in anger by myself on the road and track, not broken it yet!

And although it makes a bit of noise, it sounds ACE I.M.H.O.!

Yep from Marco - best to PM him for a price.

You're looking around Ł2900 ish all built into your original box.

Porkie is using one in his 3dr as well, and hasn't broken it despite some drag racing and track use.

You knows it

As it happens I have stripped my engine (well my brother did, I just threw some spanners around) and have a Cosworth 7.2:1 piston to photo - it's a special lightweight version - complete with holes

Pics later!

I sell this gearkit for Ł2600 plus vat, it uses standard first gear and mainshaft. They can be replaced with uprated ones for Ł250 for the first gear and Ł1000 for the mainshaft again plus vat.

Cheers,

Martin.

I'm getting my bits from Matt Lewis as usual, so will be the best prices.

Still going to be a LOT! The pump alone is Ł200 odd

I think I need the following:

1 Cosworth 7.2:1 piston 4x4

Full set of piston rings

Big end bearings

Main bearings

Thrust bearings

4x4 Oil pump (High pressure one)

Cam belt

Cometic headgasket

Head bolts - large washer type

Valve stem seals

4wd bottom end gasket set


Bummer!
