SOHC

Yeah that coby gives it a good bark. I've got a spare cocktail shaker muffler I'm thinking about using on it .

Hey SOHC did you find that article on the Lloyd powered norton ?

I forgot to look, I will try to find it today

It even has a Coby on it

I will pull the pump off and have a look. I suspect the pump would have been under a lot of strain.

Yer all the load of the engine and trans bouncing up and down, the shaft would have been the only thing stopping it from crashing down onto the road,

 Would a GM trans fit?

Thats a nasty crack, I wouldn't try to fix it with those low temperature repair rods, the crack must have caused some misalignment and strain to make those metal flakes in the oil

Those Turbo brand mufflers have a nice sound, they are a straight thrugh glasspack but look like that ovel black muffler you have

I have had a vest for years but never dared to put anything on it apart from a couple of badges 

you need the 1% patch to sew on

Your alternator may over heat if it couldn't keep up

I saw segedins were selling bigger pulleys for slowing the alternator down, I thought one of the good things about alternators is they would charg at any speed?

Some hot rods run them off the driveshaft

Sorry I didn't say they start at $45, I have bought a few off them but they didn't seem to cost over $45 and I got quit a bit sealed battrey witch would have cost over $200 somewhere elce

Same brand or??!

Allsorts of brands, Excide, Repco, ect

Those sealed lead acid batterys last a long time, I found a place in auckland witch sells them for $45 each as they have been sitting at auto shops too long and they need to move them fast, they have a 12 month warranty.

I have lots of seemless tube if you need for your control arms?

if its within OEM spec everything will be fine

you can do the brake declaration your self, don't need to pay anyone to do it

8BA flathead v8, is that in nz?

Back pressure is a myth, biggest pipe you can practically go is where it's at.

Back pressure is a myth but pipe size and lenth is very important

I have allways wondered with Flowmaster and Spinntec they say it helps suck the gas out, I carn't see this happening or believe it, I think a Spinntec would be realy restrictive, same with a Suppertrapp.

Dose it have a Ricardo cylinder head?  flat over the piston and tappering away over the valves,

Will it be like this when its running

Have you started making the extractors yet? I live your twin carb setup, dose it have 4 exhaust ports or 2?

Might need to do some of this if you take the motor apart
 

I think Suzuki DT175s had them from factory or some shit, I remember finding a something strange and removing it

You gunna keep that forever? Or sell it to me at some point?

 

Gonna keep it for ever at this stage, its not finished
