Yeah, I had those blocks, not sure about your definition of a "very refined handler" though. The standard basic rear end setup is all wrong for serious competition work. I actually converted mine to a rose jointed 5 link config. But then the GT40 opportunity came along and I haven't had it on the track since. However I was fully expecting those mods to make it a bit less unrefined and gain a couple of seconds a lap.
Rose jointing all the links as Ron has done will allieviate the bush binding problems but the high rear roll centre will still need to be worked around.
Cheers
