Its been a long wait for these. Hoping I might squeeze another 0.235 mph out her now.

They look magnificant - what a pity they are hidden inside the cast iron cylinder block.
Re: Thunda Babe
A little progress this week with grout filling the block.
Re: Thunda Babe
Okay... I'll ask the dumb question. What is the grout process and why? I've never heard of this.
Re: Thunda Babe
It's used to add stiffness to the block by filling in the void at the lower portion of the block within the water jacket. Simply mix the the compound and hardener and pour it in to your required level.

Thanks Craig.
Re: Thunda Babe
A bit of modification work to the new flywheel to get it to fit the crankshaft as well as fitment of the damper plate. Flywheel housing mounting for the gearbox is next in progress.
Re: Thunda Babe
Love your work Craig.
Re: Thunda Babe
Ditto Bob
Re: Thunda Babe
Final mock up of the gearbox today. Just some minor machining to finish off with the set up and it will be assembly time soon I hope.
