Haha sounds good I’ll guess in the middle at 235 then Hope all goes well
Fred is pretty good at estimating figures - I tried to out guess him but failed
Whos dyno'ing the engine ? and do you have the name of the guy who rewired your car ?
Ian does the sadev have the same crank sensor mounting point that the std box has? I know the sensors are different as they read a different trigger pattern. Which flywheel have you got fitted for the dyno, the std engine one or cup racer? If a std crank sensor is going to be used then can you not make a braket to mount it to the block? My car had a botched crank sensor which has oworked all season so I'm sure you'll manage for the dyno. I did see a knackered box on eBay the other week that was very cheapI'm after a knackered gearbox if anyone has one , I'm actually after the top section of the bellhousing as I need to hold the crank sensor in place when it goes on the dyno , so i'm after the top section of the bellhousing to hold the sensor and bolt it onto the engine , does anyone have a buggered gearbox I can get picked up , or has a box they can cut a section out for me
Getting desperate now as its holding me up taking the engine to the dyno
Cheers Ian

I have just dug out the race car suspension from the attic in the workshop , I'm looking to sell it , I have someone on here inquiring about it so will give them first shout , if they don't want it i'm selling it all for £500
They are just dusty from being stored
Cheers Ian
I actually uncovered the race car yesterday, looks really sad, covered in oily hand prints, no engine and box and it looks like it's done a years racing.
How come you didn't fit the solid lifters then Ian?
Car's looking good after the paint job.
The engine is being dynoed by Alvin in Plymouth who does all of John Reads Engines , and plenty of others , he did my Golf engine
I've got to clear that one up Ian! Alvin emphatically does not do John's engines, we often hire Alvin's dyno, but it's only John and I who map the engines, there's an important distinction to be made.
Great result Ian. Should make a big difference. What cams did you go with?
Its in post 303 , went for 423's
cheers guys , can't wait to try it I the car
That's a secret ;-) i think with a bit of messing with the cam timing it should have a bit more in there but meh, that'll do

That's gunna be quick, and it'll pass an MOT as well won't it, ie on Emissions, is this a Rally spec engine? great result well done Fred.
