Cheers dude.
It'll be running a standard engine to start with, I want to start with somethig simplet unil its running and I can iron out any problems before I start on the engine.
I'll be swapping over to a AHF head as there seems to be more choice when it comes to cams/pulleys.

I think 165bhp would be easy before the cams, Id love to et 180bhp once Ive got the time/cash to rebuild the engine ready for 9000rpm

Neither did I!

Thanks for all the comments.

Just waiting for this to be delivered so I can see what the extra track width will do to my rear wheel clearance.
