Well Rob, as we all know crate it would have been quicker (less time off the road) and a more cost effective exercise but I've now gotten all me parts sorted I think con rods and most of the hardware coming out of summit, Dart Heads (bear) http://www.dartheads.com/products/catalogsearch/result/?q=11120010P%09&x=30&y=12
After much to-ing and fro-ing everywhere Dart Heads are now coming form believe it or not :ohoh: a bloke around the corner from me in the Gong cause he had a set on order and they are currently at the wharfs in Aust, Summit and evryone else was saying mid June to july for est delivery on the heads I wanted.
Gear box waiting on

HEi Dizzy is in Melbourne getting calibrated, Radiator is ready to pick up... waiting on Zip to get in stock the correct H. Duty (tapped treaded) Slip Yoke and resend it that way can finalise the drive shaft and balance...
Piston set I ended up getting form a bloke on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/3504331565....33?item=350433156533&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr No No Not using that rings set just the pistons, again Summit and everyone else said mid June for delivery... so all going to plan I reckon we should be getting all the parts within the next week or so.... therefore allowing the machine shop to machine block to suit pistons and all going to plan, pre assemble end of month, early June, final machining and reassembling, so hoping (fingers crossed) end of june back on the road? The game plane was to have her back on the road for me birthday june 12th but ya know how things go:

By the look of those pistons you must be keeping the compression ratio low.
You will be able to the low octane fuels.
what about something like these

and burn 98, get the advance up to mid 30s, and make that mouse run.:drag:

Mate let us know when she is running
I am sure we can organize a run to now were in participial
just to go some where.
The destination must have food and drinks of course.
seeing your in the Goog
the north Goog would be a good, or a more ambitious destination
