Good looking stuff there Oliver. I missed it, did you get your new engine already? When is it going in?

As soon as you can I would like to see the job they did on the roll bar. I would love to see how they welded it to the frame.
Post some nice pictures and tell us a little details.

Mark, the specs on your cam are:
238/248 degrees duration @.050 and .525/.540 lift. That's with the 1.5 roller rockers. If you'd want to go with 1.6 ratio rocker arms, you'd need new springs because the current ones would coil bind.

Just took another pic of the springs.. My camera sucks for closeup pics..
In this pic you can see the 2nd spring inside.. Checked the compressed spring again and it's far from coil binding.. The pic is just bad...
The thing that looks like a shadow on the spring is actually the 2nd spring below.. It's difficult to get a good angle on the spring..
