Hi, great build up and nearly identical to mine engine build wise 8.5:1cr with a slight over bore all forged but mines "o-ringed". however i'm running a rotrex supercharger C30-84.

Mines currently running 285hp (crank) @12psi and 225ft/lb with an 7k rev limit.

I'm running a M20 flywheel and standard M20 sach clutch and its been fine.

Hope you get it running well as it you will give me somewhere to aim for...

Thread here if your intrested.

Did you re-do your DP?

[Dj Buttchug]

been a while since I updated this thread. So i roasted a stock clutch dicking around in town and finally I got this setup installed.



I also trolled craigslist and found this red shit pile, so now im three 318's deep. Two m42's and an m10. heres the family.




Its rust free but it needs a lot of work, and the engine has some gnarly valve train noise. Respect for my first real early model car.

Ill probably just fix everything tuck the bumpers, add some coils, maybe drive it for a while, will see
