I bought my oval last year, when i sold my daily 190bhp T2a single-cab.
Now the oval is my daily, and in the weekend i am giving it the TLC it needs.

The progres is to be seen at my blog.

Cheers Paul.

Hi Walter,

As your  Grin tells us, you now already. Yes its a 2.0Ltr type 4 with a csp type1 conversion kit.
This engine has a 296deg. cam, ported heads (valve size??), RVS B.A.S. exhaust with home made end piece, B.A.S. oil thermostat, external oil cooler, 44 Weber's. all in all good for 120 reliable Bhp.

This weekend, after 2 day's working on the right heater channel, I changed my plan. When i want to keep working on high standards this can no longer be a daily.

I am going to strip it completely and build it up as a street legal 1/4mile cal-look oval.

When I find a good (new) daily, I will post the progres of the new plan.

Cheers, Paul.

As Michael say's,
and it had a lot of bad welds, even one of the heaterchannels didn't fit the pan.

It is gonna be tide indeed, but with the gearbox higher and the assembly points further to the middle those 7"s will (just have to) fit unther the original wings.
One way or the other, IT WILL FIT Wink
