IVE GOT A BIT OF MONEY SAVED UP AT THE MOMENT SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO GET THE BLOCK ALL SORTED AND BACK TOGETHER THEN WILL HAVE TO SAVE FOR THE HEAD WORK , COMPUTER AND FUEL SYSTEM. HOPEFULLY IT SHOULD BE ALL GO FOR NEXT SEASONS DRAGS Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what sort of kw you aiming for with new motor ? sounds like will be a beast

n/a motor gt3540 with a .63 rear, malpassi reg, bosch 044,bigger injectors, plenum, rb25det box a good clutch and a spooled diff. yeehah!

hey guys tried to organise the acl pistons today but apparently there arent any in the country in it will take 3 months to get them because theyll have to be made. guess i may have to get some from an aussie website and get them sent over

where did you try get them from,there are alot of places that sell acl engine components

i went through appco because my dads a mechanic so i would get them cheaper going through them . appco went direct to acl and they said 3 months . guess i can only keep trying

dont go acl they are a rip off, get Arias through rocket industries alot cheaper and just as good.

try repco,or there are a few people that do them on ct

ordered my parts today through segedins the guy said theyll be here tomorrow or early next week. so should have everything to put the block back together after the machining is done except the oil pump

sounds mean bro thats a quick 3 months! it'll be sweet once its all put together. are you still getting the acl pistons? i spoke to segedins a couple months back and they guys said to go with wiseco instead, cheaper and he prefers them (this is just what he told me, i wouldnt have a clue whats better out of the 2).

parts arrived today will post up pics soon. feel like a little kid on christmas day opening up there presents.lol!
