We have confirmation. Myself and Dave (BOTTLEDUP) spent the last hour stripping the rest of the engine and inspecting.
Pretty happy with what we found!
Pistons are SRP Forged 4.030" with 12.5cc dished top, P/N-151868.
Rods are the original Argo I-Beams.
Crank is the standard T3 cast item.
Tickford mains girdle is still present.
Camshaft was the std item with "T3" stamped into it.
Timing Chain was Rollmaster.
Head Gaskets appear to be Cometics at around .040".
Valve Springs and retainers we are thinking Isky's.
So all in all it all looks good. Doesnt look like its done alot of work in its current combination. Hone marks are still very apparent on the bores.
Good thing the standard pistons are gone and the SRP's are in with more room for bigger valves . Would go nice with a set of AFR185's on it, but at this stage im not pulling the heads, because both myself and Dave, or anyone else that knows me, knows that if the GT40P's come off, theres no way theyre going back on
Anyway, enough chat, heres some pics.
