looks sweet, should have put in new galvanised core plugs, would of set the block off nicely!
You going EFI? jus I cant see the hole in the block for the CPS....thats not a huge prob though.

I bet that looks really nice!
I do like tarted engines and bays (efiturbocab's looks sweet!) but I really cant be arsed to do it! lol
For me it's all about the technical side of things, my engine may not look pretty but it's been built to a really high standard and hopefully will last!
