She's up and running finally.


Gylezy came around and synchronized them for me using a piece of fuel pipe (after I battled it out with a fancy balancer and couldn't get them right!), gotta give it up to this guy, he's a teenager who can tune carbs, lay a perfectly clean 'toothpaste' weld, and understand an engine like he designed it. F'in unbelievable, I was too busy trying to get myself completely inebriated when I was his age, wouldn't think twice about a car.

The engine pulls really cleanly from what I think is about 4 grand and it just goes and goes! Very, very tall camshaft (in that most of the power is in the high 5's and 6's) but it's good fun. I haven't even found the end where it stops producing power.




@ Armiee, Yeah I know your engine, the extended GX intake. Neat motor, crack it open and lets see what's inside. Shorter manifold? I want the revs nice and quick. The angle of the carbs also effect the length of the manifold, I have limited space between bonnet and engine so if I want a longer manifold, the carbs go closer to the bonnet.
