I know its controversial but I'm keeping the symplex chain setup to keep the original look of the engine, when stretching becomes an issue it'll just get a new chain
Spec
1046cc
10.5:1 comp ratio
MD266 cam
Balanced bottom end
Lightened flywheel
Ported 12G295 with large valves
1.3:1 rockers
Offset keys for timing

Things have been moving along slowly but the engine and gearbox is complete and in between other jobs I've restarted work on the bodyshell again.
I've promised the Mrs that it'll be on the road this year

Make sure you fit a new door seal and have the door lined up before doing the A Panel or you'll never get it to close properly afterwards
