the elation when it just sits there idling just begging you "go on, snap the butterfly, you know you want to."

And from here on your confidence will grow. Job well done and if ever in doubt, Landy's aren't strictly a religion on here so don't be afraid to ask about other makes.

I built this for my missus to putt around in when she's not driving the D2.
'69 LC GTR, stroked 308, Supra 5spd and salisbury LSD.

Good stuff Mick. Love that cam overlap when cold

So, when the Tdi chucks it in.....you know where that engine is going to end up

Marks make adapters Holden V8 to R380

It'd sound good maxxed out on Stockton dunes with a twin 2.5" system

It's the Gilmer drive causing the noise . I went with a double row timing chain instead of straight cut gears .
