What f/d you gonna run? 3.44?

nope the standard 2.9, will be perfect for the turbo when it goes in, plus i dont find it to bad :L

fair enough, will be a nice bearable long distance hauler too

with power when you need it, good for mpg too haha

yeah with my friend, dad was moping about me and him doing it be he'll end up coming out and helping :L he alway does.
its my first time taking an engine out so im glad my mate knows what he is doing,

and alos i just ordered some engine mounts and a duplex timing kit,
just 3 more things need doing before i have every thing together,

put new jets and things in the carb,
get the maifold welded,
buy air filter for the carb

the machine shop is gonna bore it and get the pistons, crank bearings and flywheel lightend, all i got to do is clean the engine down strip it, fit all the bits and then re fit

well after this the engine is ready to go!
i'll stick with this for a bit i think hopefully it will have a bit more poke and actualy put you in your seat a bit :L
got to save up to £400 for the mega jolt then £300 for the manifold :L
and thats only those bits,
and the insurance, if i tell them ;)
