Thanks Gaf.

Motor uses 1300 block (no tappet chest covers) with a 1300 crank, A+ rods with ARP bolts, Mini Spares Mega pistons +.040, center main strap, VP4 cam (not a scatter), 12:1 compression, ported head that seems to work well, Swiftune dog box with JKD plate LSD and 4.05 FD.

Been talking with him to run GR's race cam. I'll ask him for an update once they run it.

No troubles Steve...I just wanted a closer look and found they were bigger on your bucket.

Man thats a High Compression :shock: and I agree he should try the RE13 cam and see if he likes it :wink:

Can you see if you can get a closer pic of the wheels also please 8)
They look like D1's but not :lol:

Maybe because their ambient temperature is much lower than ours, this time of year they get snow, and plenty of it. :)
