well due to the dreaded missfire that appeared after the rolling road day back in August 08.
the car has done nothing :(
the engine is half stripped to see if it was a mechanical fault, but it is looking more like electrical now, So as the engine is half stripped we have decided the engine is coming out, to be sold off along with the gearbox if anyone is interested, (to help fund the chance of a new bigger engine),

SSSSSSSSSSSSSo,
while im waiting i ordered this little lot of goodies,
this can either go in the new engine, or if the ole 3.9 dont sell can go into her instead,.

New Rhoads Lifters:

Image

Another Crower 50233 Cam:

Image

And because the dizzy is going and im going mapped ignition (wasted spark, the Cam has been machined for a retainer plate to stop cam walk at high revs:

Cam and plate:
