Sounds good to me mate... but im driving a dirty ol' saab at the moment. goes better than the saph but its not ticking my boxes. i call it the scab. its a stepping stone really until i get this beast done and dusted. could be a little while though, funds are not endless, and i just dont know everything... theres gonna be problems... there always is... no deadline... just hard research and getting it done properly so i dont go wasting my efforts.

i've already bought the BOB lump and stripped it down... lightened and balanced crank and con rods so far, one piston broke on removal... so... lets get it bored out shall we? 3litre here we come with oversize pinto forged jobbies... havent done that yet (rebore and pistons). got the arms with the engine complete with auto gearbox and loom for - get this - 50rubs - nothing wrong with the engine itself.
so the money i save in buying it can go into performance (and then some)
all the cossie management and stuff is scrap to me although the loom was burnt to shit.
i want 3 carbs with a scoop and maybe NOS too if its all running well.
i cant help thinking this is all a million miles away but this whole gearbox thing has given me a kick up the back end and ive got the money to get the block sorted.
im getting itchy trigger fingers just finkin abou it!
