Hey Bob, you're a gem. I looked up that site and saw plenty of info and stuff. My heads are not the double humps. They have a short and a long squared off shapes that dont really match with anything there. There's no accessory holes in the heads either. Will take a look at the numbers under the rocker covers to crossmatch them with the charts. A retread? Does that mean you've been married twice? Well, my wife thought it would be a good idea if I just packed up and leave early last year. Very easy for them to do over here, as they'd be earning $500 - $800 a week net, through child welfare as well as from child maintenance from the X hubbies. We've got big probs over here, sorry to say - lots of broken families. Not my idea of a good start to life.
So this car is well and trully my new love (when I'm actually not with the female variety) and I'm absolutely over the moon over it. Someone's spent over $20,000 on this beast and I got it for $6000 (about $4600 US). Every body bolt and washer are stainless steel - the bolts are of the unbreako type. Ever body part has been attended to in detail with TLC including the underside. The interior is fully retrimmed including the hood lining and sun visors - this is stuff that I don't usually want to tackle as I'm impatient, so it's a real bonus. I made a few errors when I first road tested it Bob. That weezy top end performance I was telling you about is actually the transition stage between the carb primaries and secondaries. I never actually got out of the primary stage. There seems to be a 500rpm hole before the secondaries become effective. I can live with it for now as it really lifts its skirt and howls like I was always expecting it to do. Gotta love you yanks. It has rams horns manifolds which I'm quite content to keep for now. The other thing is the diff ratio. I get the feeling it may be a 3.55 or lower ratio. I'm always wanting to shift into a higher gear when at cruising speeds. So who nows. maybe a TH700 maybe just the ticket hey? I'll keep you posted about the heads and will try to send a picture if you're interested. Cheers!
