Great thread mate, any more news to date?

 

[180sc]

not really apart from its going and registered/mod plated. sorting out a few clearence issues mainly around the gearbox and having carb issues. was running a 570 holley but just swaped it for a 780 but having spluttering problems at about 1/4 throttle.
Took it out to willow bank and ran a 14.6 with the 570 on it but she's alot livlier with the 780 so next time it should be well into the 13's maybe even 12's with 4.11's and 3000 stall and maybe a 100 or 150 shot of gas.
