Title: grey motor parts Post by: tassie_ejs on October 28, 2005, 07:34:21 AM 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 Title: Re: grey motor parts Post by: nicko on October 28, 2005, 10:12:48 AM Hi welcome aboard, i have a Thomas custom made carby setup on ebay ,check out ebay link in auctions section here in forum.

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.
