his name isn't Peter?
i know a Peter up here in Capalaba, back in 80's he used to work on the
Nissan works Stanza (he calls it a violet, something about they used papers
from South Africa that let them use a larger motor). and then stroked it.

Hey Honkees,
On Thursday night I was on the jars with some mates celebrating the
arrival of my new born when I was introduced to a bloke who reckoned he was
a factory Datsun mechanic in the early seventies, and had worked on a
number of 'factory' rally cars. We started talking and I realised he was a
big talking peanut who was actually an apprentice back then who had cleaned
George Fury's windscreen once (true story). Anyway he did mention
something that I have no idea about and need to check. He reckoned some
Arfa Jackson built racers were the factory 87.8mm bored 1mm oversize and
used Holden 186S flat tops. I have heard about using the rings from the HG
Monaro but never the actual slugs. What piston ht/diameter are these?
Surely this can't be accurate?
Throw in your 10 cents. It would be great if it is true as the cost of
Holden forgies are much cheaper and you get two spare.
Personally I think it is shit but I really don't know.
Cheers
Brad
