going to start on them after the Old School Fords at Shakey Sept 29/30. We have a plan for the heads,
nothing major just standard size valves port n polish and some custom roller rockers probibly sbc ones
Just doing that to the heads will give us around 100 brake and about the same in torque!
A pair of 300 heads will give out an extra 60 brake and about 80 torque on a Rover as standard
and I have a bare pair of those if any rover boys are interested!

Thanks for those pics Jerry/Doug. The BGT has the bootlid opening as the bodyshell obviously twisted on the launch and the standard BGT catch released! I finally cured that using a pit pin through the tailgate....Good racing at the HRDs Jez.
