I think the problem was with our server, not on your end.

Martx-5

Bored 20 over, lightened flywheel (19-3/4lbs), mild porting, compression increased to 9.75:1, Richard Good's GP2 cam and 1.55 ratio roller rockers, balanced, new LUK clutch/flywheel with GUNST TO bearing.

The thing sounds like a bear and revs like crazy. It's holding 85PSI of oil pressure at cold idle.

I can't wait to see how this baby runs!

The tranny has been rebuilt and I've already gone through the suspension and added Nylatron bushings and new u-joints. I think I'll have to look at the diff next, but my budget is completely gone right now. Any more work is my labor.

That's what a motor is suposed to look like !! When does it link up with the mother ship ?
There's nothing like the turn of the key on a fresh motor & that drive down your block to an open road knowing there is new found power under your complete control. Beautifull job , enjoy it & let us know how it feels.
