Looks like a good little project you've got there.

Webers you'd be as well swapping the engine for something around the 150bhp mark.  I'm doing something similar on my green project in the summer.

You've probably lost bhp over the years too lol… recondition the engine or stick a bigger lump in and you'll start getting scared… I can't wait to touch 150-180bhp… I'd have a few shots on the drag strip at santa-pod if I hit that mark  

i'll be hitting the strip next year too!

im stripping the engine out asap. then taking it to some bloke who is suppost to be really good with older engines so see what he can do to it
il put it on the dyno before i take it out and let you know what its running at

im hoping to be having mine done my next years santa so hopefully i could be racing you

Yes mate… newer engine, bigger bhp… swap the rear discs to pads… that reminds me I need to start a thread on my new project … forgot lol  ops:

If your rebuilding your k-jet I'll be sticking a guide up soon to help others do it (done mine a few months ago on my original standard silver one - looks like yours   )

Have a look around at other peoples build threads mate and get ideas.  You can also post questions around it in the technical section.  I'm sure you'll decide from that
