i got Performance Modifications in ozzy park to do all the machine work. they do most of the drag and speedway motors in town. speak to denny. you could also try Southside Engines for the machine work and compare prices. all my machine work came to about $1000 including ARP rod bolts. as for the build, i did it myself, and i couldnt really recomend anyone, as i have always done all my motors. you could try Per4manz, PSI, or someone with nissan RB experience. regards mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

5 hung at the bags!!! look out 10 flat, even 9z. what box are ya going to run behind her mate?? you'll probably have to strengthen all the chassis pickups and arms, i'm looking into that now for mine. anywayz, go for Eagles or Argos mate. Rajabs and Nizpro reckon that the rods are weaker than the pistons, so the rods with bend/ break before the pistons. i'm running std rods that i deburred and polished by hand, then got them shot peened with ARP bolts, but i would be changing them to Argoes if i eventually get up around the 500 mark. regards mark Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
