Hi Tumbles, how goes things?   J series motors are from EJ's, B series from FB and EK's, L from FE and FC's and FX and FJ's had no prefix.
Catch up with you soon,
Burnsy

Burnsy, were you been hiding?  I had the origanal recond when I was about 18 they must of swapped block's!

The original must have been one of those Canadians ;) and they wanted to keep it!

I been busy, was a the AGM (where were you) and should be able to make it a bit more regularly now the house is nearly finished and wedding is past!

Hope to catch you at the next meeting.

Just a mates wedding that I had to attend to!
A EJ block will do.
Have been playing around with Garys eng, done timing gear and all, have to do cam bearings which are thin on the ground at the moment, been told by camshaft engineering that there was 7 different cam grinds (factroy) for grey motors from fx to ej, trying to find specs for grind on fe.  
Will see at next meeting and I will bring spacers.
