Yup priced up a full fabricage and it was ?500+ for one. I am kind of limited with the shell having a sunroof as most cages do not fit but fabricage do one that fits so have the market cornered.
shame you did not get the fabricage one as they are very good but when you can get one for half the price its a bonus
It is a fabricage one, the listing is wrong.
One Neil Roper worked head. +1mm valves and solid lifters

Dry build in progress

Its all stripped back down again now waiting for new piston rings to arrive.
Here is one JP exhausts 3" system

Got the petrol tank off to retrieve the none return ball and put it back in its cage.
Exhaust looks cool, massive bore.
Good to see the heads arrived.
Martin Reyland has just emailed me to say i will have this little lot tomorrow:

Tempted to leave the engine build to someone else, dont want any further problems so its probably the best way.
With the money involved in the engine parts, a very wise decision if you're not 100% confident.Quote:

Steve Milton sorted it all, used a very good condition dispac coscast casting then had it port bored and hand finished +1mm wasted inlet valves and +1mm exhaust ones, then steve built it and shimmed up my new arrow solid lifters.
its going to shift then, good luck with it
is that a good price for headwork? i havnt shoped arond for headwork yet. looks the nuts tho.
With head work you get what you pay for. I have had a head in the past off gary poole on mig and that was good, not worked as heavily as this one but it was a lot cheaper and the work was good. He has done quite a lot of people LET and xe heads on there and is very resonable. Depends what you want though.Quote:

Very nice indeed :cool:
How much did the powder coating cost?
I got a really good deal as its my mate but to do someone else's cage it would be about ?50 + ?30ish for blasting.
Ah right.
I need to find the cheapest place get 4 15" wheels done in black.
