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

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!

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.

Stock FE cam specs:
Inlet opens 4 deg BTDC
Inlet closes 40 deg ABDC
Exhaust opens 46 deg BBDC
Exhaust closes 6 deg ATDC
Hope this helps
