Cheers matey! I havent a clue what it will make, aslong as its quick im not too hungup on bhp figures. 300+ would be nice though
Blocks painted and heads on and torqued up starting to look like an engine again.
Had to get 2 snapped studs out the head which was a bit of a nightmare as one had snapped flush with the head.
Luckily after drilling it out heating up the head and using a stud extractor it came out quite easily
Decided to replace all the studs as I was sent a bag of about 20 lol.
Pictures to follow as the camera has died!

Cheers Guys!
I think im going to get alex @ backdraft to make it as he has to do a few other bits for me and then probably bill to map it.
Nice work dude not long away now! Are you going to build the whole engine up out the car and hoist it in? Like I did
Cheers mate. Yeah I think so, just got too see how much it is to hire an engine crane for the weekend.
Be much easier in the long run.
It Is so much easier mate it's a nice job building it up outside the car helped do mine and really enjoyed it got a mate who's been a mechanic for 30 years I mainly watched lol
I supplied all parts cost me only 580 labour to take out strip, re bore and rebuild enine, and put it back in now thats mates rare.
Must be cool to be able to build it all yourself though much more rewarding.

That is a very good price!
I'm just a tightass and would rather spend my money on parts rather than labour.
I want too build it up out the car too so I can take some nice pictures of the whole thing
