Hello to all and cheers to reuben for putting both my photos and vids up, hope you enjoyed them? God knows I had fun on the track. haha

I'll start by telling everybody about that engine I guess. Tell you the truth I dont know to much about it, was told it was a stroker motor and it had a pretty nasty cam in it. I perchased it a few years ago from a guy in Brisbaine for the sum of $3500 at the time thinking it was a bit steep! Thinking back at some of the threds you guys have put up I got out of it pretty cheap. I then added the ida's and jacobs ignition and the motor has never given any trouble.Was wanting to know some info on the port shape on my heads though???? anybody out there heard of a "steadman" that name is stamped into each head.I am currently in saving mode for a new gearbox also in my quest to see low 13's. (fingers crossed)
I will keep everybody informed as it happens this year.... Andrew Darwin

No rush there Reub, the beetle was a little slow back then, not making for much excitement.
