Thanks, been collecting bits for 8 years now nice to be fitting them at last!
I had the airbox lid from a guy who used to rally an escort, if u want one mike rainbird at r&b motorsport has had them re made and their better quality than the originals! Otherwise mark at mt motorsport has recently had 2 cars in with these lids fitted, cheers Leigh.

Stopped off in scs to pick up my engine on way home from scs yesterday, and got to say a big thanks to Harvey Gibbs and the rest at scs for top service, the machining and harveys knowledge is second to none.
Started the build today:the new block with long studs and big wing sump from scs.
New Cosworth racing pistons they machined for 7:8:1 compression.
Plus the head, Harvey had nick warples to port it and polish to touring car spec:
Happy now and going to crack on with the build.

Thanks mate it's coming along nicely now!
Get a saff before the prices increase, but on the other hand you will end up being skint all the time like me.

Out of interest are the wheels painted the same colour as the car?

Havnt updated this for a while but still been cracking on! Had an engine fire due to a fuel leak so it had to all come apart again so while I was at it changed the spec a bit.
Nor tech large primaries twin scroll tubular manifold.
Borg Warner sx200 and tial external wastegate. Had some hoses custom made by samco in rs500 colours.
