kevmk2 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 Ron at HT's can machine it out for you mate, but we all know how long that may take Or Joe at Bluesprint near Phil peacock
4parajon Posted July 14, 2008 Report Posted July 14, 2008 Any decent m/c shop should be able to do it if you take it in and show them what you want. HT leads should be a lot cheaper as well now Puddy

Cheers lads Got a bit of bad news ,had the bloke that comes in our place (jag garage) to have a look at the head ,,he saids it was too bad for him to attempt it So the head is now with Ike as well. On the upside though ,my mate that lodges with ike and was taking it over for me thought it wasn't that bad,he is an ex pro mod racer who has seen a lot of nos melted motors in his time! puddy
30psi MK2 CORTINA Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 How much does she weigh puddy ? There is a fair bit of cage in there but also alot of weight saving things like the bonnet and windows.
kevmk2 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Its quite a light car, but then that changes when Puddy gets in it
puddy Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 Its quite a light car, but then that changes when Puddy gets in it yep,I need all the horse power I can get! Last time I weighed it quite a few years ago it was 960 kg's,should still be around that. puddy
puddy Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 Well a bit of an update , I have decided not to go the 205 block less bhp route and have headed in a bit of a different direction. I have sold the rs500 8 injector ecu and manifold,the green injectors and air to air injectors. With some of the proceeds i have bought a new ecu, a 'Dta s60 pro' a very nice bit of kit which has launch,als,switchable maps etc ,etc . Also gone back to a modified cossie 2wd inlet ..... which will have a 14mm spacer and front mounted 70mm throttle body ..... The head is nearly finished,should get it back from 'ike' this week. At which time I'm gonna drop the original all singing and dancing 200 block off to him to repair and build the long engine for me. the engine will be eventually dyno'd by him at 'sussex performance centres' rollers and the anti lag turned on Should be fun puddy
Toby Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 Good to hear some progress Nice to see you have the incredible hulk helping out too!
