Not doing the bottom end but if it’s leaking will put in a new felt seal.

All the new parts have arrived. Also got a new thicker ARB from Brookhouse and a high torque starter. Getting a local garage to fit the exhaust, ARB and starter next week as I don’t have access to a workshop up here at the cottage. Going to have a play with a stub stack for the carb intake and a K&N filter and see if it makes any difference.

High torque starter? Which one? I hope it was just the Bosch SR37X permanent magnet starter which is the later drop in replacement for the original SR37. Well, almost drop in if you ignore the metric threaded mounting ears. Dirt cheap for genuine Bosch remanufactured versions ($100 Cdn) or even less if you can find a late 240, 740, 940 ... in a salvage yard. Taking the old starter out is work because of its weight. Putting the SR 37X in is easy because its probably 1/2 the weight. Your car will be faster because of the weight loss. Most interested to hear how the car drives with the TT3 installed. Did you check out Amazon Cars offerings? They say their cams are made by Isky; but, to their specifications. However, I have never found any details on what the differences were. |

I went for the 25mm one from Brookhouse in the end and just going to suck it and see what it’s like.
The starter I again went for the one Brookhouse sell. I’ve done the upgrade with a 740 one on my Amazon and it’s a really good upgrade. I initially put a used one in my Amazon but didn’t last so just going new this time. I didn’t speak with Amazon cars and that’s the first time I’ve heard they spec their own cams, I’m not sure that is the case. I’m looking to improve low and mid range torque/hp mainly and keeping the single Stromberg. I spoke with Ben at Tinus Tuning and the TT3 should hopefully give me a nice performance upgrade but my carb/intake manifold is the bottleneck for anything more aggressive. I want to improve town driving so acceleration from low down is the goal and I don’t want to be going over 5000rpm for max power. Hopefully with the K&N, stub stack, cam, 2” exhaust and lightened flywheel it will give me a noticeable improvement. Ideally another 20hp at 4500/5000rpm would be a win.

Modified a SU6 stub stack for the Stromberg and added a K&N filter. Also made a new bottom bush for the rear shock.
