so your getting new pistons a 3.3/16 bore is huge for a grey engine make sure youre rods are resized and balanced with "new" gudgeons and new rod bolts try lightening youre flywheel to reduce youre rotating mass.. when balancing youre crank have the flywheel and balancer done aswell together as for your cam dont get double valve springs if they are not needed grinding youre head for increased compression  will help good luck andy

Heya daz if youve had a look at that flicker page (look for the thread "what happened?" page 7 on the general board) that was my last fc the white one with the rubber bump stripe that car copped a number of rebuilds due to well accident(s) smashed rear quarter qnd a fire it ended upall white with dragway indy wheels the red fe was matt swains at the time grey motor with twin down drafts and an opel four speed been up to a couple of shows with my car lawnton swap and toowoomba but of course no trophies it was just a tidy street car remember seeing your car around the traps my car ended up red motor five speed  after about the third rebuild previously a grey motor five speed aswell i enlisted a lot of help from that bloke down near the logan hyperdome (across the highway) he had some pretty mean grey motors and i learnt a lot he wrecked heaps of old holdens down there.. are you going to the winternationals?? I will be out there with a couple of mates racing mod bike pop in and say gday if your there cheers andy
