There is load of differnt opinions on how to run an engine in. Ask the guy that built it he should give you a fair idea on what way is best to run it in. But a that 1300 should go pretty well I would think The head I got the machine work done for $ 480 and more porting done from a mate which helped cam $120 exhaust cost $400, $60 to lighten the fly wheel , leads cost me $70 though work, coil was a gt40 i had lying around, fan cost $110 with the themo switch, spark plugs from trade me $40 all up, ele ingition came from a donor car, bike carbs from ebay $240 landed and with a alot of help from mates and doing most of the work myself. And I have spent over a year getting here.

I have a heavy ported head 234 cam bike carbs 2 1/4"" exhaust big leads lighten fly wheel ele fan ele ingition up graded coil triple prong spark plugs. I still have a few things to do to the bottom end but I'm very happy with the performace so far and not to much cost prob spent around $1500 so far. I rate the power I get from a little 1600 cross flow

Well a few thing is quite a lot of jobs but the gear box is all done So tomorrows job is change the ring gear on the fly wheel and put the lightened fly wheel in and new gear box so fingers crossed I will have lost all the noise. Not much drive line to be replaced now and the whole lot will have been replaced Still playing around with the needle jet setings with the bike carbs. I know where it runs the best now so one more change and should be all done with those. Starting the new door cards tonight . Got some new clips so all the trouble I had last time will not be there and have gone for 3mm mdf instead of ply so I'm hoping for a better result this time .

Thanks man hard work never ends lol track day looming heaps to do

Gear box rebuild is not a walk in the park but over 70% of the way into it now not far. Got the thermostat sorted over the weekend. Bought all the stuff to build new door cards I feel I can do better. Getting ready for a track day only a few things to get done now. Quite sure I need a better seat than the factory ones.

So I have been busy at late ups and downs killed a gear box . So currently rebuilding one should have it finished this weekend.Still have the lighten fly wheel to go on as well. killed another alternator 3rd one now and that was a brand new one only lasted 2 months.Have picked up some semi slicks and slicks and a spare set of rims lately getting ready for a track day see how much fun I can have. Bike carbs are running great still a little fine tuning but running nicely over all.
-
Hey you selling your carbs what are you planning on running now?
-
Cars looking really good like the belt and drive. I'm going to order a set of hoses for my car.

So went to the All ford day in Hamilton not bad loads of cars there not enough Old School members from Auckland. Went ok but had drilled my jets out to 1.7mm and I'm running way to rich now and have dstarted to bog down again and use heaps of gas. So another set of jets and back to 1.6mm and move the needle jet and see what it starts running then. Have 3 gear spare gear boxes now going to build one good one out of 3 also have some new bearings for the gear box. The lighten fly wheel has different ring gear on it so I still have to wait to get it on. Photo's on the next post.
