I'd go with stock if I were you! A well built stock engine has plenty of power.Obviously,I'm a law abiding citizen,but can tell you that 100 on my speedo is 95 on the sat nav. type 3 heads are ok on unleaded as they are thanks for the info on the heads i know that T3D want a good £300 for some reco...

i took a visit to GSF took my caliper with me

got a pair of twin bleed nipple calipers complete with pads for 75 quid

any one ??

maybe have the mega squirt control the spark aswell

or shall i stick with some baby dells ??

ive had one hole on both heads helicoiled, no issues yet but only driven 22 miles so far

yep straight forward

making sure you dont fit the calipers on the wrong sides

i did this once with the bleed nipples at the bottom

ooppss

intrested in making a modern EFI setup for the square

no sure what parts from what cars or if to stay with Type 3 stuff

any advice and idea on were to get parts would be good

maybe megasquirt 2
