Just a Quick update,Went and got the engine builder to check a few things,now it's getting new pistions and a bore,new cam,new lifters,the heads will get a light shave and ports polished as well as new valves and seats, and the normal stuff like rings,bearings etc etc.
Once i get my tax return done i will start to order what i need,holidays are booked so i can do the job.
Im like a kid at christmas time, now it's getting closer i can't wait!!!!!!!

A mate of mine has just fitted a V8 the same as mine to his GQ race car,he is leaving on friday to compete in the cliffhanger event,once he returns he is pulling out the manual and putting a auto behind it.

So guess who get the conversion kit? ME!!!!!

It will have everything, flywheel,clutch and pressure plate, bellhousing adaptor and anything else to do with a manual gearbox.

And its all at the right price, SCORE!!!!!!!!!

Ok so the freshen up has turned into a full rebuild,it's now getting the heads done a bore,new cam,new pistons,arp race rods,new lifters crank cleaned up and new timing chain,and new extractors.
It was one of those things, while it's apart we might aswell do it.
