I will find a good engine builder no problems that will do it for less ,but still as good as Tony would or very close to it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a bit of lemon rind is the perfect ingredient.Find your mentor - your chef - your engine builder.Let them know what they have to work with and let them work out the recipe.Don't end up with a camp stew made of leftovers and a hodge podge of scraps. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked about a yella terra flex plate , but no comment . firstly I need a flex plate as mine is stuffed . I also need a 12 psi actuator . thanks but I am doing everything Jamie is asking me to do . I only asked if there are some reputable engine builders or machine shops in Brisbane . Tony would not be the only one that can do a genuine good job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF are you guys on , f*cking stick to one path when giving advise . just because I do not want to go to Tony you get your back up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
