Eagle forged rods
Arias Pistons
Total Seal Rings
7.7:1
2.1 Zetec BE
Knife edge crank balanced
ARP rod bolts 200,000psi
Decent bearing shells
Mocal oil cooler, takeoff plate, external filter and thermostat.
Samcos in Red
GRS EVO4 IC
GRS alloy radiator + 1 Kenlowe fan
Puma Race Engines 'ultimate spec' EFI CVH head (double valve springs)
Secret spec cam (sorry!)
RST T3, custom adaptor, -31
Collins DV
AP 4-paddle
365cc 4-hole injectors
Uprated FRST pump
DTAfast Pro Management
GReddy or Apexi Boost control (yet to decide)
Mongoose 3" exhaust - keep some low down torque

OK, thats the engine, which is currently being built.
Car is in the sig - fully polybushed, rose jointed TCAs, Cossie brakes back and front (soon to be split front and back with new lines and a bias valve), Recaros, British Racing Green.
Bridgestone Potenzas (very popular at the 'ring - highly recommended!)
All the luxuries - but only as Henry intended (well nearly the rear window spoiler is kinda cool)

Soon to come: MEF rear link kit, LEDAS, hopefully a T34 with 360 bearing or GT turbo.

I'm hoping to get the lap times down by at least a minute this year.

Also hoping the car doesnt fall apart with the new power, if it ever runs

Yeah easy mate - you seen the price of pistons and rods in America lately??? They handle 350 brake easily.

FK - get your head welded up and fit the Focus multi layer gasket - it's much better than a Felpro. Also they only cost 30 quid from Ford.

Just received my King bearing set today
