UN T3 - Engine Rebuild Complete!
Today, after a year off the road for one reason and another, I finally got my T3 back after a full top end overhaul. Being the South African JT3000 model, it is fitted with a 3l V6 and the overhaul included:
- new lifters
- Lifter faces re-profiled to suit cam lobes
- new valve springs
- new valve retainers & collettes
- new intake/exhaust valves
- heads have been ported and polished
- custom cam shaft grind
- new timing gear
- new Pacemaker headers
- New custom 2 1/4" custom exhaust system
- Edelbock classic series air filter
- New custom made leads
The engine block was repainted, as were the rocker covers. Jamie (mechanic) also replaced much of the wiring and hoses in the engine bay as well as new insulation etc. The motor presents very well. Pretty much no stone was left unturned, with the result being lots more power and ability to rev as well one of the best engine notes I have ever heard. And what a blast to drive!
Today I also fitted a set of smoked tail lights.Bodywork is next for this beast.

Thanks guys. Will get a vid up when I can. The sound of it when idling or on full song is just fantastic.
The right header was not glowing. Engine was cool. Must have been a lens flare...
