[QUOTE="Puddle jumper, post: 7470, member: 1433"] [b]Is similar close enough !!!![/b] Hi Roy, Similar sounds good to me, and to be honest as I think the engine is out of a racer of sorts and it looks like its had plenty of mod’s and a hard life, who knows what I will find when it's stripped down, I do know from what the previous owner said that its only done 150 miles since its last rebuild back in 1961, but he's not sure what was done, he thinks that the bore is plus 0.060" and it's running bigger valves, the reason for the rebuild was that the old girl dropped a valve at speed, ouch. Must admit I can’t wait to start stripping her down, sounds like lots of fun, I would like to get the power up to 65 horses at the wheel, should be possible I think. Cheers Paul [/QUOTE]
