Sorry I haven't updated in a while, being real busy what with the HSC and buying more Stanzas/parts... Anyway, here's where I'm up to - I hope you fellas like lotsa pictures
Anyway, while I was waiting for some parts, I fit a new rear bumper.
Reground 180B cam and new springs
Painted the engine crossmember (whatever it's called?)
Got my block back from the machine shop
And quickly proceeded to make it pretty again
Then it was time for the crankshaft and pistons to go in
Custom made exhaust valves (because I bought Stellite inlet valves but could only find standard exhaust valves, so this was my only option). Totally worth the money and the waiting, these things are beautiful!!
Valves and springs installed
A very shaved down A87 head... Hopefully this along with some porting work, around 0.5' lift, my cam, my carburettors and my exhaust, the old girl will finally have a little bit of extra get up and go...
Then I had to reinstall the cam towers which someone in the past had removed... What a c**t of a job that was, getting the cam to spin freely again and everything!!!!
Head, cam, timing chain all installed... Looking good, if I say so myself
And that's almost where I'm up to currently... I'm just waiting for a couple of small things before it's ready to go back in, but I'll let the pictures do the talking when I have some more...
