^Yeah, I have an 85amp one as well (Which I think is the one actually on there in that pic)... But I'm running my Alternator that was on my last engine first... Just because i know it was perfect.... I might swap them later when I know everything else is all running sweet....

HAHA! Hopefully getting some motivation to get his lazy arse into gear!

Not long now then?!? When did u set the dead line for?
There was a bit of a hiccup with the cam run in... Had a dodgy pair of Felpro Head Gaskets, both of them didnt compress and seal properly and I had coolant mixing with the oil! So the engine had to come out and back to the engine builders who fixed it up, finished running the cam in and fitted the inner springs!
Deadline wise, I am hoping for the start or Spring some time, DEFINITELY going to be at the first Knox Cruise Night!
Yeah, I think I may have fluked the timing! LOL. My timing light died in the arse, so i had to just set it to a spot that felt good! haha. I have ordered a new T/L, so hopefully I can get it running even better when I get the timing right...nice , and starts real easy , sounds very responsive
Now all you have to do is run it in driving up to Tfest
LOL, I doubt it'll be heading up to Tfest! Maybe summernats... LOL
Yeah! Massive shame! It gave me goosebumps when it was just idling away! Just reminds me of the brisk mornings, waiting in the staging lanes with the smell of the VHT Track Prep stuff! oohhhh yeah!sounds good mate such a shame we have to run mufflers :(
SHIT YEAH!!! I'm keen as to come for a spin in the LJ once you bump up the out put to 250hp!!Noice! Now im jobified again, some cross border catchups in the warm months are definitely needed!
