Cheers Team, having big trouble transfering photos to the PC.

But the car is sat with the inlet manifold off and the exhaust manifold off.

Tomorrow night should see the new head on, and everything bolted back up ready to connect the omex, and turn the key!

It's great, but I tell you what I've been working none stop on it since 3PM this afternoon, and finished at about 10.

Fuck, I'm knackered!

Feels good though.

Kind of cut this short really.

Was in a rush to get it mapped.

Anyway, conversion is finished. Possibility we might try a naughtier spec but not yet.

We finished it the night before mapping, was a long and hard slog!

Mapped by Steve Greenauld of Race Engine Calibration Services, 154bhp 124lbs/ft

Sounds nuts, goes well, and pops and bangs

http://video.google.co.uk/url?docid=...1C3yp7NzjgfgsA



At the moment the car is off the road for a few weeks, while new diff goes to Bara Motorsport to be beef'd up

Also fitted an uprated clutch (Helix organic item ) and a ligthened flywheel, done by an ex brian hart machinist, so a proper job

Once it's all back together will get some proper photos

Yes, drags you around corners, box feels nice and new and the flywheel makes it rev up nicely!

Hi mate, bodies are 91mm long 40mm bore and 40mm trumpets.

They're also on a inlet manifold too.

You having trouble getting yours to fit? You can get bodies that are 30mm long if required! IIRC!

Here is a picture of mine and below a picture of Jofans - no difference in bodies, except Jofan uses pico injectors.

cheers mate, i'm having no end of troubles so have decided the best thing to do is get rid of the bodies and fit a direct-to-head roller barrel setup.

i think its mainly down to the fact the engine was raised by 20mm to aid ground clearance and to allow the driveshafts to sit at a bit of a better angle.
