Default Bluey's now off road for 2-3 weeks

Decided spending circa £250 on replacing cam/followers/springs etc in this engine and then messing about with 5th injector and new turbo just isnt the best option

So....

Engine change as of wedneday next week

shame really as Mark Shead built one hell of an engine that has lasted 9 years

It's had proper abuse it that time along with been sitting off road for 2 of those years

I bought Jamsport Dan's car and the engine from that car is beinig removed on Friday once I have removed alot of crap from engine bay for them to make easier job

I have a few things to replace/uprate/inspect prep block etc (paint) before we put it in bluey

however mine is booked in for the change on Wednesday next week so I gotta get a move on or else

Just updating the few people that know my enigne needed some overhauling in areas but still does the job at the end of the day

Any suggestions what I could do with the engine as it'd be ashame just to sell it for peanuts
