    How is the Starfire Going

    Hello Mick,

    How is the Starfire project going? No posts about it since its maiden voyage in March 2017!

    I was having a yarn with someone yesterday at the Bundaberg Early Holden annual show and they mentioned fitting a Starfire into a Series 3 Land Rover. The bloke who is a small engines mechanic by trade was displaying his EK utility that he shoehorned a VN 3.8 litre V6 engine into. All work on the car apart from the alignment was completed by him.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    Lionel, sorry for the very, very, late reply.
    The Starfire is performing very well.
    It had a few teething problems and was using oil due to a poor honing job,
    so i slipped it out and rehoned it, achieving a far better "crosshatch" and while it was out, i sent the cam away to Crow Cams for a "torque grind".
    Very happy with how it runs along and the Nissan gearbox adds to the driving pleasure.

    Cheers Mick.
