Hi Paul,
I got pretty much the lot from Ben: billet crank, forged pistons, rings, his A-rods, cam to suit low octane, bearings, valve springs.
Gary Comerford put it all together and flowed the head. Interestingly he closed down the inlet ports to help with torque. We used it on Outback Trial in August as a test of everything for P2P next year. I'm very happy with it. A good torquey engine.
I'm running new 45DCOEs with 40mm chokes. I thought 40s might be big for the engine, but the dyno says otherwise. Headers (4-2-1) rather than the cast iron FI manifold to save weight. Unfortunately I broke a pipe on COT - I didn't support it at the bellhousing - and will probably replace it with KG Trimning's big set, which I'm trying to buy through Ben. Currently waiting on a quote.
Meantime I've got to strip all the underseal off the car because it's got traces of asbestos and Customs have gone pretty all out about that. And getting everything else P2P ready.
Regards
John
