160-180kw at the treads, should come close, specially with a 350 holley, fully worked head and a IC&E 7 Amp ignition system with a booster. i want to see that the TB42 aspo can push the same amount of power as the TB42 turbos canQuote:

John has only done the Bore out, light block deck, bottom end bearings and cam bearings. and ive had a go at rebuilding the steering box so got a few pics for everyone
Top ride bud, keep the pics coming we love em.
finished rebuilding the steering box, soo much better. and started the twin pot caliper upgrade by cleaning, painting and rebuilding the calipers. a few pics to keep everyone updated. seeing powerhouse engines tomorrow night to check on the progress
Any dramas redoin the steering box mate??Quote:
