I hope the missing camshaft welsh plug at 7:43 went in before the flex plate went on. Good honest video

[@jazrad666]

Cheers mate! Yeah im very happy with how she came up, She had full engine block, crank and heads acid washed and machining and balancing done, 30 thou over rebore, 30 thou JCP flat top pistons and rings, Full crow cam kit which includes CROW 4890 tough idle camshaft, lifters, valve springs, retainers, locks, stem seals, timing chain set, pushrods, larger valves, and high flow oil pump. The oil journals were also cleaned up for better flow. The factory heads were port and polished and CCed for maximum flow and efficacy, All new bearings, welsh plugs, full gasket kit and sump also installed. The banana manifold was HPC coated, and had new gaskets and ARP bolts installed. New Turbo 400 auto stage 2 box built, with 2200 RPM stally to match the new tough idle camshaft, new engine mounts and pacemaker extractors fitted to my already built full custom twin 2.5" exhaust, running into twin 3" dumps out the rear. I also have the MACE air cleaner box up front with a K&N pod filter which makes a big difference over stock. Shes currently on a soft tune for the next 1500kms, before i drop the oil and then send it on the DYNO. Shes like a completely different ride now even on the soft tune, she sounds tough as and the whole car shakes at idle.

[@dynaridingnz]

[@jazrad666]
