    5K block is rare as shit to find. Add a 3 or 4 K head and you have a SPASTIC motor fitting into period correct modifications.

    Don't lock the diff. Get some side draught carbs on a custom manifold. Don't waste money on coilovers, this will never be competitive without SERIOUS work. Don't get a shitty bogan MOMO steering wheel. And don't molest a good dash by drilling a 5" tacho into into.

    I have some 4 x 100 14x6.5 TOM'S rims that would go down a treat on this car depending on the colour you choose.

    Yeah, this is the first ke that iv seen with a 5k in it. Side draughts will be a later on mod, as there like $1000+

    Thinking of going to the wreckers and getting some falcon springs today, chopping them, then tacking them in.

    Pretty sure it has a momo wheel in it and the moment.. Looks horrid!

    And yeah, with the tacho, It has a clock dash, and the previous owner cut out a clock and put some random tacho in there.. Looks like shit, so I'm either going to get a tacho dash, or a clock dash, and just mount a tiny tacho

    No idea what them rims are, but if you could send me some pics that would be good?

    The 3K-B head came with twin down-draughts that would be more cost effective.

    Carbs + Manifolds pop up on rollaclub every so often.
