cheers

Not sure it could be called a master class but I'm sure I could give a few pointers in the right direction

Shame you are having to part with it, what mods does it have?

In partial answer to your question -

Mainly engine mods
4BBL Holley (manual choke) on Offenhauser 360 inlet manifold & heat insulator. matched manifolds
Full balance, lightened & nitride 10/10 R/G on crank
SD1 conrods (instead of the rubber P5B ones)
10.5:1 +020 pistons (forged)
Spike Anderson (of Samuri fame, for those that remember him - what a bloke!) Cylinder head rework in exhaust finish. - matched chambers adjusted to run on 4 star (premium unleaded really, being ali heads must have steel inserts).
Steel duplex vernier timing gears
Crane H200 Cam
Crane anti-pump lifters (will rev to 7k)
Lumenition
Stainless flexi fan (sounds great)
Baffled sump

biggest problem is that it destroys gearboxes (BW35 Jag 4.2 internals) & diffs (same as Range Rover (3.54:1) if showing up the local boy racers a bit too often..........

Funnily enough, as I was reading down the list I was thinking about the gearbox. Sounds like an awesome set-up
