Hi,it won't cost you $6000 to find out how Jim Rowley went fast as i have a 5page article from an old mag outlining all his mods etc to get his motor revving to 10,000rpm.Basically everything is remade,single ring pistons he had repco cast up,heavily modded crank with weight added to keep torque up,modded massey ferguson balancer,cast his own rods,made his own flywheel,heavily modded oil passages and returns in the block and most importantly an oil feed to no.1 and 7 main cap to help the bearings live.Remember my mods Craig well they all come from this mag.

Yes Kevin you guessed right. We are building 2 motors but this will just be an injected screamer then the next will be a blower of some description with some nos lol.Hope you get a 13 mate as all i want to do is run faster than my 13.1 i ran 15yrs ago with a 186 hand grenade.Hopefully this combo goes well enough and you know how Bob's car goes but will see should be fun for me and the kids.Anyway will keep you up to speed so get into the EH even if we make the 6 Bangers this year as thats the one i will go to even if its the only meet for the year.You don't know anyone interested in a custom made MSD Billet dizzy to suit our holden 6 as i bought one from a gentleman and have ordered a few more and have already sold 2 so i think i may have one or 2 extra's.Easier than buying a chev one and trying to convert it lol.

Hayden approx $650-$750 depending on the aus dollar atm.The dizzy is genuine MSD and all parts are off the shelf and i may have to up the order as i have 3 sold as of now.Yep mate i know its an easy mod to do to the ones you get but i don't have access or the knowledge to do the mod that's why i am getting these made for myself and a few extra's incase someone else wants one.A pic of the dizzy as it turned up yesterday.

Well Hayden the one i bought was made around 18 months ago so yep i thought the price was good as its a straight drop in now no mods needed and as i need 2 i enquired and now i have 5 on order with 3 already sold but smick looking piece of gear so pretty happy with the p/up.
Placid i can get them anytime but there will be a wait for MSD to make them as i am dealing direct through the gentleman i bought this one from so no middle man.If anyone is interested PM me or email at [email protected] as i am just waiting for price and order confirmation for the 5 so could add more.Anyway hopefully they will keep the timing a little better than the ole blue dizzy plus as Hayden will tell you they come with all weights,springs and vac lockout.

I would imagine the same as the MSD Dizzy's the V8 boys use with there blown alcohol combo's and i hope so as that's where my second one is being used in a blown nitrous setup.Send me an email and i will scan the destructions with the specs for you and you can decide if its what you want for your project.Have a chat to Hayden as he used his when he was trying alcohol.

the old combo was timed 12 degrees TOO much thats why she no longer exists. it was a quick bang together piece of shit
wrong cam (advanced +2), electronic ignition , fuel system was all (only open half way), wrong very tired blower, standard 9 port head.
now i have the real gear...
when are you racing next i might be able to get hold of some slicks for ya... and this is why i think i can run 8's let alone 9's.

Drag LC, you're right. there are better flowing heads out there but I don't see anyone going quicker. We use white 3 Bond on the solid copper head gasket.
Bomber , you're right as well. It is a very basic draw through setup. ACL pistons, starfire rods. This is the same engine we have been running since 1999.
You dont run fast by accident. It takes a lot of thought & understanding not to destroy an engine.
Most people who destroy their turbo engines blame faulty rods or pistons because they bend or break. The answer usually lies in the fuel delivery, timing or wrong spark plugs.
Thats why we ran 3 fuel systems. If your engine sees 30 deg timing & 22 lb of boost, chances are you will need new engine & maybe turbo. On the pass before Wal crashed, the
set up was 28deg & 26 lb of boost. The last 5 passes before accident were in the 9.1's after we fixed our ignition problem.
The car weighed 2407 lbs with driver. Don't know the hp, but some of you blokes should be able to work it out.
I'm hoping to trim the weight to under 2000 lbs. Any questions I will try to answer as I check this sight once a week. Des Pimm.
