Agreed. Keen to get this happening.
A few pics of the parts collected so far.
YT 2032 shaft mount bolt on roller rockers
JCC Pistons (Austral)
Romac steel race balancer (may not end up on this one)
Morel tie bar lifters
Hypertec pistons
NOS Wade 325C flat tappet cam (probably for another project...) - got this one for $100. Kinda similar to a 286.
Plus rings/bearings etc.
Crane compucam 2030 is in the auspost tube. I actually purchased gaskets, but they sent the wrong ones so they've been returned but I haven't reordered any yet. Was planning on going with durapro graphlex head gaskets.
The Starr manifold added $500 to the cost of this engine. I've seen them sell for $1k used before so not too disappointed with the price. Not sure which pistons to use at this stage, anybody got experience with either brand?
