Not bad. I only just noticed the alloy sheeting on the lower dash, a nice touch!

any chance of getting some pics of how the tacho is mounted?
i noticed in another thread that you said it was mounted to the column shift shifter bulge.
looks spot on i might try it in my lc

do you need so many gauges, you have 12 counting the factory ones. I like the 4/71, it will look great when finshed. Have you thought about injection instead of a carby. A friends, cousin has a red lj 2dr with a 202 with a 4/71, glide, 9in. It was running 12sec 1/4 with a stock red, 20yrs ago.
heres a anther lc with a 4/71

You may as well weld up the rear doors, then you'll have a 2 door! It looks like you will definitely have to get it engineered now. I don't think the rego authorities are going to like a 5 seater only having seating capacity for 2 people.

sort of on topic, what tool did you use to hammer the pin out of the shifter stalk? Mine will not budge!

i used a pin punch to belt out the pin. mine needed some heavy duty swings of the hammer too.
thanks, i used black automotive carpet we sell at my work (bunnings). made some panels up out of 9mm mdf, then just trimmed them with the carpet

What material is the "Torana" sign made out of? I assume you cut it to shape and painted it yourself? It looks great.

Got a new engine
specs are as far as i know: 202 blue block O ringed, fully balanced rotating assembly, starfire rods, HQ racing pistons, 9 port head, copper head gasket, solid cam. Ran 12.89 @114 in an LJ with a supra 5 speed on street tyres wheelspin 1st and second and a little third. it had a small T3 turbo on it at the time.
i should be able to knock a bit off the time as my cars suspensions set up for drag and i will be running on street slicks. the 3500 stall in the trimatic will also help as will no turbo lag from the 4/71
Thanks Heath, the "torana" sign is made out of 6mm MDF, i drew it up and cut it out with a jigsaw, then used MDF primer to seal it up and then painted with GMH Orange. (same colour as the stripes on my car )

got a burst of motivation after work. came home with a front timing case cover gasket. time to check if theres a part number stamped on the front of the cam. fire up the compressor, rattle the bolt off the harmonic balancer ( at 9pm. neighbours must love me) now open the cabinet to grab the balancer puller, where is it? dammit which a-hole took it! arrrrrrrrr. after lots of swearing motivation fizzles out. a day of work on the car wasted means it will be on the road a day later :(

Its a shame you found nothing on the back, ill be suprised if you find anything on the front of the cam.
If you have no luck with grind numbers and breed, at least you can say you did your best
Have the rockers been loosened off? Why can't you measure your cold lash average, subtract 0.002" and that should give you guide to what they should be set when hot.
You then could futher tune within 0.004" each side for best performance.
