davidian Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 nice little engine build man, cheap too. shes gonna boogey! its funny how those Develo manifolds are a weird cast, mine also had to have those top edges milled off where sidedrafts foul on top. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 hey, thanks man. What work have you done to yours? I still need to get this bored out and put together but apart from that the engines all there (apart from plugs etc.) I've been told that with these manifolds its best to cut out that bit in the middle that says devlo so they're not connected as the vibrations through there can make them crack. prolly bullshit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

two_days_late Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thats good then. Have you got a 1600 in your van bro? i might have to come check it out. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yeah i had it built up a few years ago, will be going back in after paint. Your 1300 pistons should be fine in your engine comp wise-i cant give any advice on getting them machined- im running higher comp pistons than 1300 ones just run it on 95 at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Oh ok thats good to know then. Good to hear from someone whos done it, the guys a Fisher Automotive said i'd probably need to use 2 headgaskets to bring the comp back down a bit What else have you done to yours man? are you just using the standard fuel pump or have you gone electric? Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah im running a 4psi high flow electric pump, the engine was fully rebuilt with new old stock race pistons (bored to close to 1700), kelford GT+1 cam (am fitting a Kent 234 or 244 soon) and a few other bits and pieces -tidied up/ported head, locked dizzy etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Nice little two door, looks like your doing a good job. Are you going to put some forest flares on her? They would look mean. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 hey, thanks man. At the moment i'm decided on having no flares and using those TSW's that are on it now. I've tried to work out a way to flare it and keep those wheels with spacers but it just doesn't look right. If i flared it i'd have to goto a more old school wheel with some nice dish. I could end up changing my mind back before its paneled if i find some wheels i like better though. Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Engine is finally built. Hopefully I can get it running over new years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escorted Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Good work on the engine looks great! Where abouts did you get the head work done? Was that mates rates or average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Cheers mate, head work was done at a place called Chris Carrick Reconditioners in Wanganui. Head work wasn't mates rates unfortunately, but the engine build was ($650 for the entire build including a steel head gasket and the oil filter).
