Any way, Riekus and I happen to know one another from about 20 years back - funny enough... He was a bouncer at Lime Light while I was a bouncer ...

JungleGym - it was a 3.5, now it's a 3.6 (3589cc) for various reasons - we were able to get 1mm extra stroke from a new crank that we put in. 100mm bore, as you know. It's african metallic grey yeah. Barry's just finished porting the heads, installing high lift cams and putting the 48mm intake runne...

JungleBunny!

How is the engine going?

By the way people, this car was the first alfa to win a production car race in South Africa in the last 20 years - ie it broke a 20 year drought!

What are your cam ideas on this engine?
