well here is what it is like underneath, my bro is going to try and learn me how to weld.lol (its a bout time really) this weekend I am going to strip off as much underseal as possible to see what is hiding, then sat do the welding (hopefully not too much, but it is a ford) then sunday seal it all back up again nice and neat,,,,,well thats the proposed plan.lol


Can you spot why this cam is shagged??

Just purchased a t3 manifold, ordering the stage 3 t3 turbo from cr turbo's tomorrow i think

I stripped the head yesterday (sun) took it to the machine shop this evening to a bloke who was highly recommended from rally club, noticed that the head has been skimmed quite a few times, so its no good for me as it will effect the compression ratio :-( Ive managed to source another one though which has only been skimmed once, soon as I get it im leaving the ports standard and having 3 cut angle valves machined in, standard sized valves by the way. Short motor should be ready for this weekend, i have had the crank fully balanced and polished now, and I have changed my mind on the cam, im going to use a standard ford cam for the running in process then installing a kent cvh34, i know they are crap but the profile should work well giving plenty of torque, it may only last for a few thousand miles, but they should be fun miles.lol More to come soon
Thanks for looking peeps
