Hi fitted the engine with the new piper 285t2 cam kit of sue collins. repainted the inlet manifold, gearbox, charge pipe, fuel rail. my friend who rebuilt the engine for me is coming to time and dial the cam in for me, then on sat repair the wiring loom inside the car refit the dash and front seats then just the finishing touches to do on the interior. the engine should be running the next few weeks just waiting for the heat wrap for the exhaust and the heat treat paint for it. then of she goes to mikeanics to be rolling roaded and tuned


HERE'S SOME PICS OF HOW THE ENGINE USE TO LOOK BEFORE I OWNED IT:
