FYI - For one reason or another the engine build has been very slow progress over the last few months, anyway - finally we have results:
Bottom end is together
Headwork is done, big valves are in and head is ported, polished and port matched
Headbolts are here
Gearbox and limited slip diff are ready to drop in
I've built the big pump
Have also managed to source myself a set of HiSpec big brakes, so they will go on when the car is all in bits.
As soon as the engine is out and in pieces, the turbo will get sent out to have the bigger compressor wheel put in and the housing machined to suit.
Should only be another few weeks before it's time to try it out!
