gerg 10,871 Posted February 27, 2020 Another bowel i have seen was at my school freinds house in 1981 it was blue and sported a holden 202Sent from my SM-G570Y using TapatalkA 202 in someone's bowel Seriously though, that would be a Bolwell Mk 7, a kit car that looked very similar to the Nigari (I like them more actually) and most had Holden 6s. Some may have had Windsors or Ford 6s. The Nigari was their first turn-key, factory built car you could buy off them complete, with Ford 302C or 351C running gear.Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted February 29, 2020 What are the differences in pin height? The rings on yours seem to sit lower on the margin from the top ring to the face is thicker on yours, possibly pointing to a taller deck height compared to the other ones you pulled out. If you stand them up on the rod end, you can compare compression heights roughly  Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk    1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,299 Posted February 29, 2020 there is a slight difference in piston bowl depth,im just gunna put 1 of my other pistons on the rod to replace the broken one,probly only about a few cc ,slight difference between 1971 and 72/3,just goes to show that red devil 400 is rare with 8cc dish and 9.2.1,this motor would be 8.5.1 approx circa first unleaded i reckon. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted February 29, 2020 I can't remember if Ford played with dish size or piston height or both to get the lower compression in the smog motors. Sad times... So much potential for that motor but it never had its chance to shine in factory form Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 2 Thom and CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted March 1, 2020 Interesting that they don't have that big gaping hole hacked out at the front of the valley (above the dizzy drive) like a clevo does. It seems to rely on the oil drain back holes in the valley itself.Sent from my CPH1903 using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
