Grey motor queries in Perth

[Jason]

G'day Fellas,

Does anyone know of or recommend somewhere in Perth that:

a) I can take my grey motor block, cam, crank for some advise and a possible bore / hone.

b) purchase a rebuild kit (bearings, rings, pistons, gaskets etc).

c) I can take the head for advise & an unleaded conversion.

I'd rather pay a bit extra to someone that enjoys these cars, offers sound advice, takes there time and will do a good job.

Is there such a person or am I just dreaming?

Cheers

Favazzo's around Fremantle somewhere.
It is now owned by a non Favazzo, but one of the original owners is still there and he used to do a lot of work like that. He was doing mine, until I decided to do a red motor.

Just going through same process with mine. Have found Wade Cams in Melbourne will re profile your cam for $135. Tell them what you are doing to the rest of the engine and they will give you a cam to suit. Have seen gasket sets and water pumps on ebay. Am looking at a few alternatives re maching at present. When I come up with a good one I will let you know. Steve

Try Ray Abbott at 18 Rio St Bayswater , 92724566 for head work , he is as mad as a cut snake but has been playing with these motors since they raced 'em in the '50s.

Thanks fellas, that should give me a good base to start.

Not sure if he is still operating but try Classic & Performance Engineering, 38 Gillam Drive, Kelmscott 9495 1445.
Its one of those places where there's shit everywhere - did our Escort a while ago & very reasonable but not as quick as most.
