I did go up and down the range twice cos very little traffic around I think everyone went to the beach didn't stop to take any pics but did the obligatory one when I got home Also back to work on Tuesday life is starting to get back to normal ....................................weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 1d Posted 12/05/20 03:04 AM Share Posted 12/05/20 03:04 AM Today I was given good news from two different sources! Firstly I am possibly allowed to return to work once I get my special skills exemption from the government. Which allows me to travel interstate without the need to self isolate for the standard 14 days. And the other, but even better news came from my machinist at Pryce racing engines. Letting me know that my custom order pistons from CP in the states have arrived. So now the crank is machined, the rods have been modified to suit the oversized chromoly wrist pins that were made up for the new pistons, the block had been line honed with the stud kit and girdle fitted, the head is almost completed with 3 angle valve job and mild flow work and blueprinting of all volumes etc. All that has to be done is to bore and deck the block and wrap it all up for me to bring home and begin assembly 😁😊😁 Yay Can't wait to start this part, will post some pics as I go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 1d Posted 12/05/20 05:40 AM Share Posted 12/05/20 05:40 AM Yeah I've been getting Kevin @ Pryce racing engines to do my machining for close to 20 years. Since Teterins stopped dealing with the public, he has gotten all the best of equipment and has the experience to get the best from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built a few of my mates engines as well I could nearly hit his workshop with a rock from where I live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken666 Donating Members 140 Member For: 5y 11m 1d Posted 12/05/20 03:07 PM Share Posted 12/05/20 03:07 PM Kev has built plenty of Barra turbo motors and reckons the combination I'm putting together should be comfortable making 1200hp at the wheels with the right turbo. I'm only planning to run it at 900-1000rwhp first up, but might get my hands on a bigger turbo and injectors down the track and see what it can produce. I can't use the power, once it gets to this level due to the tyre size and manual box fitted... But still! I'd love the numbers just for bragging rights 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
