    excuse if this is a stupid question, are you doing cam, push rods and rockers or just the cam?

    BTW loving the tray on top of the manifold to hold all the parts in the right place!

    All good.
    The pushrods are aftermarket (.50 tho longer). If the heads come off I'll be doing value guides. Not sure about the rockers. The valve springs are new dual VCM's.
    These guys have done plenty of cams and tunes so even though the cam spec sheet isn't out there I know they'll be trying to get the most out of what I've got and the budget I have to work with.

    Love to clubby mate, good to see you bring it back even better after that big crash


    '234/242 638 622lift 112 lsa' is quite a big cam mate, should make great power with them ported l98 heads.

    Keep them updates coming.

    It's on the dyno again this weekend after I removed the cutoffs. I'll through up the results tomorrow. Not expecting big numbers at this stage.

    Was wanting more but that's how it goes. Just getting a price on some L98 heads. Do that then I'm done. ;)

    I installed some light covers the other day. Changes the look a bit.
