Thanks guys........ firstly . Rod I get down to Chch Sat morn..... staying with my old mate Kevin Bann [Mr Kelford Cams ] a long over due catch up , Kev did my engines & has a lot of knowledge & likes a beer a good bugger fly back Monday morn .so yes Rod this time we get to gether for a catch up...... George thank you for ideas re cars .to get something different means a lot of playing about & testing to get it right ..... I know what worked in the past ..the high reving little screeming 289,s they are doing the business in the south but feel Bill has the car now to blow them away....the blocks now the mustangs have lends to a bigger bore size etc & are getting close to 500hp we were 420hp back then but had a very tractable set up would pull from2000 rpm that got us out of slow corners quickly ....You know George we didn't know much about what set up to have until we tested & bingo found the formula quickly also used 3.8 diff others 3.5 gave us an other leg up on certain tracks I also remember Dean having problems with his brakes I helped him for the final race to get it on the grid we were going head to head & I blew my diff on the start line a DNF I did not need , but pre 65 was like that although serious as well , we shared the info to any one , had you been running at that time [both with mustangs ] we would have shown ...... just like the rear torque arm Roly made ...we told every one but the formula had to be 100% you needed to play about with the dimension to get both wheels to skid off the line properly....giving a big advantage as soon as we got it right we were [cheats lol] because powers to be could not understand the physics & the funny thing the car happened to be on TV showing it powering out of the hairpin at Taupo leaving two distinct black marks I thought ....oh I am going to cope it again ....but all proved good when it went on the rollers yet again [no LSD].... when that car went to SI & was finally pulled to bits [Engine] a few SI pre 65 ers went to see what crank & rods were in it , I had to laugh yet again they were very sheepish after that and the suspicions put finally to rest ...I guess all apart of the fun......interesting though. ......If I don't get correct deal it will not happen .....
