That is a wicked project.
Will you use the car for some form of racing?

standard pulleys should be fine
Went this route to remove the auto tensioner for reliability

I started out with both these pulleys and had them adapted to suit
Quinten Hazel
QTT221 Fiat Punto 1.7D 93-00 (tensioner pulley)
QTT946 Ford Focus Zetec 98 - (Idler Pulley)
Good luck

Well the Cams are on there way from Belgium, (CAT) and the head is getting final machined for the new trojan guides to suit the valves.
Should have the head on in a couple of weeks fingers crossed

Right I've got all the engine components finally back so the engine is 90% built now.
I've altered the inlet system somewhat and just about finished rebuilding it
Heres what it will looks like on a dummy head

Nice work on that inlet Austen - does the plenum fit within the confines of the bodywork or is it on display? BTW (FW500 on WSCC)

Some people say, with a two seater you only need 100 bhp. Sod that give it the works.
Well done that man, hope to see it at york/elvington
