whats the problem pual.
i see engines sometimes on ebay around 1000 that have had about 5 or 6 spent on them, would that be stretching the budget, otherwise you might get a good ebay job for 350 or be able to fix the one you have.
i just blew my clutch packs in the trimatic, not looking forward to pulling it out and putting it in and forking out $1300 to get it rebuilt but thats life.

Sent it in for tuning and found there to be little compression in 2 cylinders..
Have decided to just bite the bullet and get the heads done etc..
Didnt want to spend any more money on this thing but yeah, just gotta do it eh.... hey do you know anything about the SU carbs with the fuel float bowls located toward the front of the engine? is there a kit to change them over or are they whole units?

do you have a set, shouldnt be a problem changing the bowl to the other side of the carb

After spending 2 days of solid buffing the stainless, Paul and I spent Sunday arvo putting on the stainless strips. Only have the visor, skirts and venetians left to fit and the cosmetics are pretty well done. Tomorrow the head comes off and we see what happens then.

Step 1: Forget everything you ever learned about spending money on only practical and essential modifications and upgrades.
Step 2: Hand over your wallet and credit card details to the closest person who is qualified to carry out the opposite of modifications described in Step 1.
