Well it?s finally finished. Obtained RWC and full road registration last week. There have been a few settling in issues
which are now resolved and overall the car feels great. Really tight and well sorted. The engine is great. Smooth, flexible and with plenty of power and torque. Those cams make it really rev and when it see?s 4000rpm on the tacho it takes off.
Prior to taking the car for the RWC I decided to remove the booster and straight away I achieved a good consistent pedal.
I also added a ?Speedy Sleeve? to the prop shaft yolk to try and eliminate the oil leak at the back of the gearbox even though the yolk looked good. A fiddly job but achievable without removing engine and box. I now plan to drive it as much as possible. I've attached a few shots of our most recent drive. Took the car to the Dandenong ranges east of Melbourne.
