Default 2wd saff on its way

Here we go again..
Bought another stage 1 cosworth about 18months ago and decided to mod, stage one is not enough lol. I've had a few 400bhp cosworth cars over the years but want more power now.
Started with the backend and running gear. MK rear beam, MK diff mount new tank, new fuel pump cradle, new bearings, Polly mounts, rebuild drive shafts, big tooth gearbox, uprated diff and rebuild balanced prop.

Cleaned and resealed the bottom car it was mint underneath I really wanted to concourse the bottom but then thought whats the point I want to drive it not worrie about cleaning it.

I also bought another engine to build up so i can still use the car. That didn’t turn out well, cracked block so sold it on ebay and got 250 quid back. I sourced another mint standard bore 200 block so back on track. I did buy the engine knowing I wanted to rebuild but just didn't see the crack which is a pisser it even had the pump drive missing from inside the block so would of gone back any way. It wasn’t all a disaster the crank and head were mint, 138.9mm on the head.
Here some pictures I’ve been taking though the build, hopefully the engine will be in the car 2weeks, run it in then up to the tuners for mapping.
