Re: my 3.0s restoration
Amazing car as i have said before, Let us know when the mag is out mate, would love to get it.
what sort of power is she making with that 3.1, what cam you running?
Most important is it drivable compared to a std car?

Re: my 3.0s restoration
will do mate.its a 3.1 with fast road cam,steel timing gear,weber 40dfi5 carb,dont no about bhp yet but will get it on a rolling road once ive run it in.all i can say is compared with the standard lump i had in it,its unreal.with the other engine in i would put my foot down and it would pull ok,but with this engine its instant power,i love it lol
