Why would anyone laugh? Everyone knows LR's are better than other makes :roll:

Welcome to ORE

I have a 64 2a 88" that had an injected 202, now has a lexus v8. Still not done. I also have an unknown age series 1, and its getting a new 6 point cage, my old injected 202, fiddle brakes, salisbury rear, disco front end (on leaves), and possibly some 33's if I decide to sell the SAT's and make a bit of extra money for them.

If you find the 202 doesnt have enough grunt, inject it. Makes a heap of difference. Only problem is you blow halfshafts easier :oops:
