[Lloyd]

How cheap?

Cam, twin carbs etc?

[79rolla]

iv got a pritty good carb apparintly so no point for twin carbs
im looking for sumthing that costs a cuppa hundred perferibly less if posible
it depends how much gain ill get for my $$$

[CozmoNz]

cam! just like hrts one

then you can say uve got a rotor

[Lloyd]

Or the 12 year olds hanging around Repco can think that

If you can put it in yourself and find someone to get you a cheap cam then it shouldn't cost you more than a couple of hundred. Probably the best way to spend your cash, plus it will give you a nice idle

[79rolla]

ok sounds good
any other options?

3K or even better 3KB head will bump your compression up, which should give you a useful boost, without much outlay.

iv got the origonail 3k that we replaced after a conrod broke
what would i have to do to put it on the 4k? is it a straight bolt on job?

Find a cheap 3kb head for me then and the say it gives more useable power than a mild cam.
Actually if you find a cheap 3kb head can you let me know, i sold my last one with the motor it was on, the guy who was buying it suddenly had to come down for some reason or another and i didn't get a chance to swap it over with a 3 k one i have lying around

[Dell'Orto]

Yup, bolts straight up. If you cam it you'll want to bump the compression up anyway to get the best out of it.
Camgrind will set you back the better part of $200 by itself, plus facing the lifters.

ok
whats the 3kb how much better is it then the straight 3k?

[Dell'Orto]

3KB head has bigger ports than the stock 3K, and with the mods you've got it'd be absolutely no improvement. Plus people ask $100+ for the damn things.

Got a 2 3KB heads, a 5 speed gearbox, a complete 3K engine and a minta 2Dr KP60 shell and running gear for a box of Speights.

The guy I got them from was moving house and his wife told him to get rid of his project car. (KP60).

I went there to buy a set of twin carbs for the KP62 from him and checked out his other spare parts. I didn't have any other spare cash so I just looked and said maybe another time.

He rang me a day later, and asked if I had any room for all the rest of his parts and the KP60 shell. I said 'Yeah, no probs'. He said that I could have the lot for a box of Speights "to wash away the tears of losing his 2 yrs old project". LOL!

Score!!!
