Well he got that crank off me, I'll see if find can locate the block for you and hopefully petes got the cradle for that crank too. I've still got the original rods and pistons if you want Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha steve what would i want with the pistons and rods.. then again the rods are probably looking better than the set justin gave me! hahaha and HDT VLCLE, the interior is just grey calais, with weird headrests, they look like LE ones but they arent, possibly theyre just chopped up headrests.. but it looks good coz theyre not too big. altho the rear ones annoy me because when i reverse theyre in the way sumtimes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah I think your right, they look like normal calais headrests just cut up... But i like them , its different. LE ones (Scheel interior) is more rounded. If you dont like reversing with them try with the full sized ones Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Genks that looks awesome, i love it, especially how bright the paintwork is... i've known 2 people now who have had the same thing happen with their eyelid, although one was unlucky enough to have it run over So don't feel bad hehe Why did you ditch what looks like an already shmicko single cam for the rb26, i mean of course twin cam is better, but is it really worth pulling apart a built up and what i assume was an excellent performing single cam in the first place?

BAH! then some rb26/30 combo came up for sale... i wanted it, coz i like the looks of the 26 in the engine bay of a vl lol nah, i wanted POWER!!! and i rkn i can sell a high powered/fast 26/30 for more than a rb30 and yeah... screw the SOHC, then i bought a lemon of a rb26/30... now i have to rebuild it. so yeah, im sick of doing sh*t the "cheap" way and not the proper way. if ur going to rebuild dont do it half right.. i might aswell invest heavily Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
