Engine Update:
For those that knew my car it was a 372 dart blocked 351w. 13:5 compression 9000rpm (if you dared) and an absolute mongrel for maintenance.
Ive pulled the lot and have now flowed the heads and am working on the current combo.
440 cube
4 inch stroke
418 bore
11.5 comp
7000rpm
Im just flowing the manifold to ensure its capacity is up to the task based on what the heads are flowing.
Roll Cage:
Peter B is coming down to revisit at end of the month once the tops affixed in position and will measure up what we need in materials and design fab the cage itself. Then it'll be off to his place to get welded in.
Gearbox:
I have a new upspec'd GB arriving to update the old one (no cost - HUGE THUMBS UP HGT PRECISION) and will fit it with a new shorter shift arm and also a respec'd bottom linkage to give me even shorter throws. Compared to the Hollinger its such a different GB!!! Much smoother.
Once the car comes back from Peter B's I'll send the roof off to get painted.
Hoping by early new year I'll have GB in, roof painted, cage painted and just waiting on the engine to come back. I have to modify the door to swing open but haven't started on thinking how about that project yet.
