So today was kind of productive I guess. Started work on the new engine (again). Began modifying my manifolds in the hope they will fit once in the car.
Cut, bent and welded the exhaust manifold (unfortunately forgot to take a picture of it welded)

Then set about shortening the inlet manifold. Pretty easy job in all fairness. Required a little bit of grinding and fettling to get them meshing perfectly. Now to get it welded up
