Last few bits now sorted. Big cooler and rad did fit with a few mods

Engine is ready to run.




R&D 6 speed dog box with long 6th (Martin Hadlands old box)





Also got a 71/2" gripper plated rear diff



Will be using my Bara diff justnow this is for future upgrade when i go for a adjustable rear beam. Total over kill realy for my engine spec as the Bara diff would be fine but planning ahead incase i go for more power later.

Thanks for the info Euan , will need to speak to alan when i pick the car up to see if he will be happy enough mapping it on the rollers with the dog box or if he wants my syncro semi straight cut left in for that.

Realy hope to get it ready for crail now, will need to try and get use to the new power ,new box and the car again before then

Got the car back and started the running in , done 250 trouble free miles so far Decided to take the car off the road and fit the new box so i can get use to it without full power and diff, then decided while it was in the air i should give the underside a bit of a clean up, so it will be getting re undersealed then given a coat of paint in the next few days after a good clean down.

Just thinking if i should paint the cooler front black while i have it stripped down to vent the headlight.
If things go to plan and i get some parts sold it might just have more power than i had planned for

Well after spending all the money on the eingine i decided to sort out some decent gauges, so these will be here some time next week hopefully. Plan is to fit these my Elliot boost gauge,secs monitor and a Stack rev/speedo and Stack AFR gauge.



Oil pressure,oil temp,watertemp,boost,egt and fuel pressure
