He definitely signed off my 351, manual gearbox, LSD diff, suspension, seats, steering, noise, pollution and wheels/tyres. The way I found out about him was when I rang another engineer, their mechanic/desk boy said don't' go to them try this other guy. Light commerical would cover falcon utes ? or they still classed as a passager vehicle.. phill |

Had a fair bit of progess today, my new radiator turns up in the morning,got a hand controller for my microtech and welded up the xg ute crossmember.
Bad news that im nearly 100% sure my car wont pass the emission test because of the low compression,cam,headwork and big injectors after talking few dyno operator's up here.Blacktrack reckons might be able to go close with E85 and a tune to suit but thinks it will still fail.So im not sure what to do now,do i put straight gas on it now ?? I really want to get it engineered so its legal and i can drive it.... phill |
