Well its been slow progress on the motor due to various factors. But, this week we have been able to open up the 318 so we can have a look and see what the internals look like. Great news its in good condition for a 75 block and is on standard bore.
So I can now start ordering parts.
Well......I could if they had any in the US.
Spoke to Hughes this week and found that they are short on Pistons, lifters and the rocker assembly. No option but to order and wait. Not in any rush, but would like it on the road for next spring. Good thing is it's a spare engine so the car can still be used while all this is going on.
So it's back on hold until Diamond send some pistons through to Hughes. Without these no point in having the block machined and bore taken out by 30 thou.
