[This is my first post - so take it easy if I've done something wrong]

I have a '70 MkIII which has had its engine replaced with a Toledo one, I'm
about to have the engine re-built (it's about the only think left untouched),
because of an odd ticking noise - plus I'd like to get it de-coked etc. Also it
would be good to know what's inside, the timing needs to be set to TDC or even
ATDC and even then it sometimes pinks.

Any suggestions of what I should get done at the same time - once you've paid
to have the head taken off - you might as we'll do everything you're going to
want.

I'd considered trying to get it 'normalised' to a Mk IV style engine - Cams
etc, but is this the right thing to do?

Advice etc welcomed!

- Greg
