Gary,
I haven't tried this myself, a lot of other forum members who post video seem to post it onto You Tube, then post the link to the site

Hi everyone, Iam getting the fc painted but things have been slow, the doors are in primer but the car wont be painted till end of January  We are heading down south to Perth for Christmas for about 4 weeks and hope to get all the rubbers,bailey channels etc needed to have it all back together by the end of March. Thanks for all the help thus far and hope everyone has a happy Christmas,Gary C |

G'day Gary, nice work.
I am building an FC at the moment and like you i cant wait to take it for a drive and give the grey motor a bit of stick. I'm not running triples, just twins but i think it will go alright. I also have Jack Meyer headers so it will be interesting to hear the note the exhaust makes at about 5000 rpm. Have you got a big cam? to run triples i would think you need a big cam use all that fuel. Have you dynoed the engine to see how much horse power you are making?
Anyway cheers for now
Scott

Also, i noticed you put lowering blocks and new springs in. Did you use the 2" lower King springs on the front and 2" lowering blocks on the back? I am thinking of doing that on mine.

Hi Scott, yes your right I have the lowered king springs in the front and re-set the rear springs to original then 2 inch lowering blocks.
I had the engine built by Bob Cambells racing engines in Perth.
Bore and deck block (149)
Race harmonic balancer
Shot peen rods
ARP bolts
Lighten flywheel
Full ballance
Port head
Oversize valves (186)
Heavy duty valve springs
Heavy duty valve colletts
35/75 cam. Your probably right about the triples, but they do look good, and mate your right those headers sound awesome. Gary C

Oh yeah, no dyno Scott the closest is 2400km away. I too are always interested in how much these greys are good for Im hoping over the 100 mark maybe thats a bit ambitious?
