Its been a while but I remember the head has 60thou off it and the block was decked 100thou (i think).

Sorry I cant remember exactly. It probably doesnt help to tell you that the pistons are 10thou proud of the block, but I cant remember the height of the pistons either. So I guess I haven't been that much help.

I have all the specs written down on a pad in my garage somewhere, if I find it I will let you know.

I would appreciate the contact details of the carb guy in a pm if thats okay.

Cheers

Clearanced the dowls, installed head studs, Had the deck 'o' ringed, fitted a ridgecrest copper head gasket using 3 bond sealant.

What type of rockers are they? What ratio and how much did they cost you?

Where in sydney are you? If you want to come around and have a look at my car to see how to fit (and in some cases how not to fit) anything let me know.

Can I get the contact details of the carby guy?

Cheers
