sorry i havnt posted up lately, should post up some good updates 2moro, head is now built up with area six uprated valve springs, bottom end is built with a ap 4 paddle clutch and a temporay s1 lsd box, collected my area six profiled newman cam last night which i will dial in in the morning before fitting the engine. ive had a few delays, brake reservoir was leaking so couldnt get brake pressure, ive got new seals which i will fit in the morning (fingers crossed it will be ok and engine can commence).

me pedal box arrived today, many thanks to Nuts R'uS (TONY) for his great help and service, going to start fitting it shortly , last night got a little bit done, most of engine bays new loom made in braid, just needs plugs fitting, boost pipes made up and fitted. had problem getting drive shafts in properly, but think thats due to the adjustable tca's at the wrong legnth

engine looks sweet. it looks light a tight squeeze to get a boost pipe on the T/B in the pics. my rover inlet had more chopped off and it was still a tight squeeze.
