Still trying to source an Alternator. I have determined that I need something at Least 65amps.

I understand that the LR-160 versions might fit?

I have found this on ebay which is a 70amp version. It has an LR-160 cross reference and is a Bosch Unit.

Will this work?

Typo D. It's actually 74mm.

Finally got my stuff back from Flowcraft.

A15 H89 Head fully reconditioned. Dual Valve Springs fitted with dual valve spring locators. Short turn radius on intake ports cleaned up.













Crank has had oil holes chamfered, oil pins drilled out and taped to suit screw in grub screws, linished and fully balanced.




Rods - New 74mm pistons fitted, rods resized to suit ARP Conrod bolts, bolt seat and slightly up shaft has been shotpeened




Reground Cam and refaced followers.




Had to get my flywheel refaced and order the pressure plate from Dellow (To suit T50) in order for crank to be balanced.







Looking to start assembly this weekend!

I had one before which came on a GX5 Replica coupe and I was sad to see it go.

Got lucky with this one.

I really want a set of GX5 Coupe Bullet Fender Mirrors but don't like my chances!

Didn't think I would ever be lucky enough to see one of these ever again. A pretty happy chappy right now!

Certainly is a "Buffalo" manifold that I will be using. Not sure exactly who made it but it was sourced a few years ago from a South African seller.

Hey guys,

I have just had my H89 Head Reconditioned. I have fitted a set of Dual Valve Springs.

My engine builder is anal and wasn't happy to install them with the standard base washer.

We went out and sourced a set of I.D Locators from a V8 (Set of 16) which have specs suitable for smaller type springs. The thickness had to be machined down (approx 0.03") to suit but this is a very basic job.

Obviously I only need 8. Wanting to sell of the other 8 (UN-machined) to recoup some cost.

Looking for $70 plus postage. Much cheaper than having them made up.

Specs:

OD = 1.160"
ID = .500"
locator shoulder OD = .610"
.095" THICKNESS

Standard internals.

I used degreaser and a pressure washer to wash down the block where it was to be painted. I also throughly washed out the water galleries. I did avoid the bores though. I did give the bores a wipe out and I've re oiled the bores and face for now to prevent rust.

When I go to assemble it, I'll give it a full wash down with the soapy water. Shouldn't effect the already painted surface.
