hey guys,
im currently saving for a new 138 to replace the 179 in one of my Ej's, the new motor will have:
bored
crank ground
new pistons,rings, bearings,
full balance
modified cyl. head wth larger valves, heavy duty valve springs,ported &
polished.
35-75 camshaft & steel timing gear,
lightened flywheel
extractors
twin stromberg carbys
alloy rocker cover
chrome sideplate cover
electronic distributor graphed to suit
reco hi pressure oil pump
all up over $3850..is this to much, how much power should i expect from this and would i lose reliability?. Im also after some alloy parts for my cars. I have a passion for Thomas alloy gear (maybe because my last name is thomas) and i have a rocker cover and manifold on the 179 and am in negotiation for another rocker cover for a 186 in a different car. i would however like some thomas gear for my 138's...i have seen a few manifolds around the place but am yet to find a rocker cover, i currently have a speco alloy cover. Does anyone have or no of anyone with any Thomas gear for sale, it will be going to a good home,
cheers, Zac

Zac,
Is it the red 138 or the grey 138. You might find with the lightened flywheel it might run a bit rough untill the motor warms up. The price seems alright.

for that money, it seems as though you are getting a pretty good deal!

tests have proven that the final words before a fatal urban car crash are "OH ****"
in a rural car crash they are " Hold my stubby and watch this for skill!"
