    Thought i'd add some more pics of shiny bits.

    the rods are spool H beam rods. standard length (6.38") and weigh in at 555grams +/- 1 gram for a matched set

    also added some pics of the new valves fitted and a old set for comparison

H beam rods, forged pistons, fully balanced and blue printed, modified oiling system, fully ported heads, standard reverse mounted intake manifold (for now untill i get my hands on a US buick manifold) Raptor blower and a big hit of nitrous for giggles spinning at 7K rpm all day

    Hi mate,

    It's been a bit sad really, the car has been parked up for the most part, reg on hold etc

    Fairly broke at the moment, haven't had a lot of spare cash to throw at the car, had a run of bad luck with domestic appliances, so far i've had to replace the dishwasher, the microwave, the washing machine and the TV, the last 2 this month (the TV ate the cash for my valves and the washing machine likewise my forged pistons)

    I have some new engine mounts on the way as well as a set of alloy 20% under driven pulleys.

    How you been traveling?
