yeah the guy who bought it is a bit of a clown anyone who has the slightest idea about motors will realise what has to be done to heads when you go running a solid cam that is the equivelent to a crane 300 solid!i mean it had 2.020 on the inlet and 1.060 exaust,yella terra bolt on adjustable roller rockers!he also tried to tell me that the converter was only 3000 stall thanks for telling me about the sight! the car will go easy tens if he puts some gas on it,thats what it was built for!

How much did you end up selling IDO11 for mate? The scoop definately looks different on it, is it just me or is the front a different shade of green?

ido 11 hows it going, my mate who built the car blue vh carey has now moved to qld and seen the car, apparently to the guy that u sold it to was at some willobank meet entered in racing and burnouts he said it looks worse for wear now whish is a shame, but he also said the new holley, ice ingition, convertor, diff centre was takn out b4 this guy brought it, and replaced for different items? i dunno if thats tru but its been through 3 motors they claim, i still wish he hadnt sold it and he is still kicking himself in the head that he got rid of it, he should have parked it like i have and just payed rego each year!
