build


putting parts together for my 'spare' engine for the race car... 
there's a guy David Bonito ( triumphracing2 at aol.com ) I've bought some parts
from. He's directed me towards the PI head that apparently came on a few GT6's
for some reason and I happened to have one... ref: eBay 350288944226 ... I've
bought his SS valves and Crane Cam Springs, as I want to do the head first,
then the block.
My next quest is a race cam, lifters, and push rods. TSI? Who
can help with a purchase on these? I'm shooting for stability and power, maybe
12.5 to 1 compression.    Years ago I bought a set of GT6 pistons and rods on
eBay...   they are 20 over POP UP pistons. Anybody used the pop up pistons in
a race car? I thought (sophomore thinking) that with the pop up pistons and
the PI head with the larger combustion chamber I could have the start of an
engine build... I do have several blocks laying around..  complete... looking
for some help if you guys have the time...
Merry Christmas to all....  Bobby
