Just heard on the radio, dictator Dan has lifted the limit, the next call was to the engine builder, dropping the engine off on Saturday! Happy days.

The age reported that the 25 km rule remains until 11.59PM on Nov 8th ;)

So you may need to call your engine builder again :p or get that "i love Dan" bumper sticker :eek:

Thanks Vin! At the moment I don't see a point of going 308. The get a half decent one, it's at least 4 K.. I told myself a budget build and do as much I can, myself.I've had a look inside it's got flat top pistons and through the fuel pump hole, I can see a Double row timing chain. I had this engine running and it sounded very healthy and tuff.At least when people think of 2020, most will say corona virus and I'll say, of yeah that's the year when 've build my Commodore hehe
