I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
This arvo I drove up the Jamberoo Pass on the way home from Jamberoo Recreation Park and the poor dual Kadron 1600dp in my '67 was wheezing the entire way.
I didn't even get out of 2nd for much of the way.
Even a 1835cc or 1914cc would have struggled.
I have to say a mild EJ20 or EJ22 would make it much smoother and tractable.
Cheers & God Bless
