Hi Steve ,glad there,s another drag Racer on this site ,Your right about the figures i gave in an earlier post ,these were for general purposes and The car with the original engine gearbox combo weighs in at a little over 410 kg,s in my effort to keep things simple i rounded up the figure to 500...

Thanks for the tip guys ,When you say 6 bolt ,are you talking about the number of bolts on the crank ? Any other faults i should be looking out for ? I dont plan to use any of the manifolds on the motor as i,ll make my own ,the water pump will be redundant also as its one advantage of running it...

Did,nt know there were issues with crank walk ? is it an inherent problem or one that manifests itself in time ? This is exactly why i came to you guys on this site , to find out exactly what makes these motors tick ,
