Thanks for the comments, i got the engine from a guy in scotland, one hell of a journey.
I have considered painting the cooler, but it will chip and look shite. so may invest in a proper black one later.

I spent a few hours toying with different gearbox ideas.
First was something which hadnt been done much on the site, but the people who had weren't intrested in helping. a 1.7 puma box, 1.6 final drive and a s2 erst LSD.
Or an FRP item which would have been the same spec as above, but about 4 times the price. I was quoted Ł800 for a new one.
I decided to have a go at building the box myself, so i got a puma box and a s2 rst box and set about pulling them apart. I used my own 1.6 box to salvage the final drive.
Once the box was finished i gave it a shiny coat of black..
One shawspeed spec'd lump ready to go in its new home..
I had been speaking to interpro about supplying and fitting an omex 600 for me once the engine was back in. It was booked for a close, date so the rush began.
Ready for lift off..
seated..
Quick spec
SS4 cams
HD bolts
L&B Flywheel
Helix organic clutch
1.7 puma box with 1.6 FD and RST lsd
puma inlet
SS miltek mani
KN racing 10mm leads
K&N panel filter
Now was time for testing. It ran very bad. Cutting out at every junction. But only a week until omex time!
Whislt the car was away, i got around to re-building the Th lines. that takes time
