Once the petrol is sorted and tweaked, and the right intercooler setup is selected an installed, I should be looking at about 220 rear wheel kilowatts ... plenty of berries either way!!!
I'm away whilst the transplant takes place, but I'll throw up some happy snaps next week when I get back, and a video if I get the note from it that is expected!!
Fingers crossed that Tank will pull through ok having his heart replaced, and looking very forward to giving it a test out in a couple of weeks time!!
so is another petty engine you've had to buy, or the real hum dinger one?
Same one I bought the other week mate - just had some hiccups along the way, but it's full steam ahead now ..Quote:

Took some happy snaps of the rear end flex today when dhuck and I moved my camper ... wow was an understatement as I pushed it nearly to the limit (still has more to go, but worried the spring is close to popping!!). Just on the back wall at my joint, but as you can see, it does the trick!!
Enjoy and I'll update once the transplant is complete.

Wow you got your own rock crawling track in your backyard Scotty you are a committed 4 wheeler aren't you?
looks good mate.............. on another note, did you end up getting those one pice frameless rear windows?
I love Flex..... If your worried about the spring falling out, Go to the steel supplies before the working bee get a meter of 10mm solid round bar ( couple of bucks) and I'll knock you up some drop out cones same as mine at the working bee and (i'll ask this week ) I may be able to get u a deal on coil retainers. but give me a couple of days
They'll be the week after next mate - will post an update on them also.Quote:
