Gomoto GT125 71000km, 7kw of frame bending power :-) Still the most reliable vehicle I have owned

Thanx buddy

284 is the norm for this setup. With a 4-2-1 branch,272 cam some say is to light,but if for everyday use and easy on the lifters its nice.

284 is not fun for everyday use or your wallet

Was told 284 will work well with throttles? Fitted the throttles to the head to see how it will look..will be match porting intake with head port and then spray intake and throttles black

Thanx for the input guys..much appreciated as I want to have a proper build done

Looking good, low down drive ability is where the problem lies, once the revs pick up it is fine.

Don't worry, you get used to it after a while and learn to use your clutch a lot more.

Thanx man.So its worth the try..can always change again when not happy with it.as for the exhaust..do I go 57 right through or 57 into 63?

Will I need to use an adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

Lekker progress.

Thanx Dj7..my build will be changing again now..was at goch n cooper to have my gm oil pump checked out but ended up speaking about rebuilding the motor with Deon's experience with 2L 8V's so he will be rebuilding motor for me but still with throttles

Deon has built many hard 8v back in the day.buddy of mine used to work there that time it was still named Hyperformance.

Strongs for the build
