Quite a bit to catch up on here as I aint been on for days lol. I'm presuming the Cortina nut in Essex is Steve Taylor,he has put these motors in everything from crayfords to transits! As for the ready made loom,the engine i'm using is a B.O.B, will he be able to sort a loom as this motor is harder to wire in with the immobiliser etc. I'm planning on using the T5 box as I already have it,it has Quaife semi-helical gears in it and heavy duty synchro's,was rebuilt a few years ago by BGH geartech. I had it bolted to the back of a 3.9 Rover V8 in a Sapphire autograss car,what a handfull she was on the loose!
