surfingturnip Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 I like that a lot, and a supercharger and satin black paint is always good
dyt397c Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 i`ve been in the garage all day,getting the engine out ready for its re-build and re-paint. all was going well until i took number 3 piston out. it`s cracked in 5 places and wrecked the bore! the blocks scrap! i`m so pi££ed off has anyone got a decent Essex 3 litre block and pistons they dont want? cheap as poss please cos i`m skint now i`ve bought stage 3 heads, V65 cam kit, all new gaskets, oil pump, and the machining work on the supercharger!! need one ASAP cos the racing starts in April!! cheers
dyt397c Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 could do but still need a piston. thought about getting some Accralite`s but at £150 each they`re a bit out my price range! looks like i might have a complete engine now tho. got to make a phone call and plead poverty!!
