Sorry for the blank post, picture issues!
I thought it'd be time for an update. I still have the coupe and I'm no longer on the opposite side of the country.
Big news, I now have twins!
My 2 cars now, coupe and 105 series Cruiser, turbo diesel and a bunch of good gear.
At long last I've had the engine rebuilt! Was definitely due for it, was still running but very tired.
Now a 351, same heads just been cleaned up with new valves, mild cam, performer intake, 600 Holley and extractors. Gearbox also got a reco, bearings and a shaft were stuffed.
It now drives really great, heaps of power, still plenty of torque, sounds great. I'll take it to the Heathcote meet but won't be racing.
