Bumblebee Buzz's Once More

Thursday night (19th of Feb) we got dads car ready for the dyno run in .. just to bed the rings in, and make sure theres no leaks etc etc.
We did roughly 40km on the dyno, and pulled it off quite happy that everything is run in and seated. Engine seems to pull nicely, and has a smooth delivery of power.

The engine is identical to mine, except that it has a touch less compression, and cast pistons instead of forged (they are 87.5mm rather than 88mm).

A gently run through the range saw 97 front wheel hp, without running it to redline, and without having checked timing etc. The engine was running 10.0 Air/Fuel which is quite rich under load, and we didnt have a timing light or any jets available to us, as the exercise was only to run the engine in.
Heres some pics of the car with new wheels, all ready to run.
