Good work, what was the reason for refitting the 2.9? keep it standard?

3.1 had oil pump problem and wasn't as good as supposed to be and engine matches the chassis plate again. i'd love to twin turbo mine but fuel is bad enough as it is

yer have thought about them but need to do timing chain's on them before fitting or disaster and big time expense plus can't buy the bits to do them as most were only available from ford but ain't no more and whether to go for a boa or bob as both have prob's and most say use the boa with the bob inlet and cam's as bob wiring is a bit tricky. have thought of twin turbo and aftermarket management or throttle bodies and management but all comes down to cost. going for big brake conversion and coilovers with eccentric top mounts first then sort the engine out as may start doing track days aswell as shows.
