Picked up a few more bits in the last few weeks

Well the Cam showed up from summit on Thursday, so that night i ordered the Valve Springs from Summit, ended up going with the Comp Cams set due to no one being 100% sure on which PAC ones to use as I kept getting told different part no’s.
I’ve also order the Rollmaster Vernier timing chain set which is coming from Victoria
