hey thanks, yep the real world can be a #OOPS# sometimes but you just learn to roll with it don't you. I was going to buy 1 of those new electronic dizzy's on ebay for a couple of hundred and I was planning on trying a weber off a trusty old xf falcon. I was given new std bore flat top pistons with the 2 engines I just bought so I was going to give 1 a quick hone and wack them in together with some rod bolts and new bearings. Haven't got anything for a cam yet and I was chasing a peanut head but someone here has offered me a V912 head which apparently is 1 of the best race heads to go for so I might buy that as well. The kids are very keen to start racing and have begun driving lessons. Mum even reckons she is going to race it in the Standard class so I need to give it some giddy up, she is a seasoned racer, problem is that both classes have to run an apparently standard engine ( which no one does) so I can raise compression, small cam must have standard inlet manifold but can change carby (single only).
