    That Sounds close About right, I didnt want to go to far with the engine as obviously everything else suffers eg fuel consumption, drive line ( the piss weak m20) but i think the 10 bolt sailsbury could handle more power,
    but it gets along well and is reasonalby good on fuel, about 13 litres 100klm at 115klm and the cost for cam ,rejetting and timming was bugger all compared to putting a wirring loom in for fuel injection and all the other stuff that goes with it,so dont really see the point of putting fuel injected latter 5.0 litre or 3.8 v6
