It’s just a BW which I’ll cut down and build with full spool, 31 spline and 3.7 gearing.

Pulled the front bumper off yesterday so I could start measuring up.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Should have it all in a couple weeks…

My brakes are all installed, front only I’ll do rears once I tub it.

The front end got an overhaul. Re did the log in Whiteline gear. Rear will cop same when tubs are done also.

All my old Devonish interior is in also along with a Stato center consol I purchased to change it up a bit. Also picked up a new parcel shelf cause the old owner hacked it up to fit around the cage.

It used to have this motor running in it. Was for sale in Epping for ages. Until a guy in Paterson Lakes purchased it. I brought it off him. For a lot less then the guy in Epping wanted.

Heads are CNC’d by Higgins. Manifold work done by Shane Cable. Initially had a Come Racing single plane. TP up 45hp on flow bench.

Ironic, come state theirs will outflow any Harrop or TP even if they had up to a 2inch spacer. LOL

Good work mate. Looks pretty trick. Who did the heads and manifold work.

 

My single plane wasn’t much better.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Just use that put $$$ elsewhere.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Good old TP manifolds and their beautiful runners.

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

That’s it Gary. Complementing parts play a massive part. Although sometimes in practice it does everything against what it says in theory.

Mine me should never have made what it did with the parts I used lol

 

i just kept kept giving it a few extra rpm til it was happy hahahah
