Plan is solid bottom end and new cam/heads to get some more oomph. Factory heads very restrictive, shrouded inlets really restrict flow. Probably blast the body and give it a quality outside spray job. Owner is looking at pistons now, dithering over how far to go. I reckon just get it going and look at sorting out drivetrain etc. Diff ratio change on the cards too.

Funniest thing is he's a diehard holden/chev guy and is frothing over the options with a 302, watching so many youtube tuning vids... :grin:

Apparently it's something to stop them hitting the seals under rally stresses? Standard they are ok on roads but I think they put a stop/flange/something on axles to stop them hitting seals and coming loose. I'm too mechanically derp to understand, was relayed to me as recommended to owner by diff specialist. Can find out if you're really interested...

Update, been helping with this a little lately, much work done by others.
Engine built, block skimmed, roller rockers, new throttle bodies, heads etc, should wake it up a bit...
