I think most people have forgotten that Clyde has been doing all of the port work at Bergs since the mid 70s....he told me he was only 14 when he started...HE has some great head stories...
Gday again Joel.
:)
Ask him nicely to send me a pic of some old-style intake ports (or pics of yours ;D)that DON'T have a port that turns a 1584 into a light switch at 3000! Hahaha!
Great fun to drive, but I still obviously go just that little bit too far......... ::)
Great pics in this thread.

Sarge, are you still in contact with "Fast" Freddie? If so, I would like to get in touch with him... Deano
Sorry, no luck here. The undisputed Wheelie-King in a mid-engine car!

I never thought I would ever find a pair of those rare Fumio heads complete with exhaust, but they just came up for sale on FB. With those now in hand, I have been collecting all the other parts needed to build the complete engine, period correct 1972. So, I'm build a 2090cc, using an 84 Okrasa crank, knife-edged and wedgemated, Childs & Albert 5.7 rods, 89mm Mahle slipper skirt pistons and biral Empi cylinders, Engle VF-3 cam, Empi mag sump and pulley, Joe Hunt magneto with tach drive and Hunt timing ring, '72 universal case with 10mm studs, Empi 1.4 rockers, Empi valve covers, Empi cross-bar linkage, oil filter top mount, Nickerson oil pump and Accel wires. Pretty much the exact engine that Darrell Vittone ran back in 1972-era.
Neat line up of parts. Very cool.
