Oooh, and I also need to make up a new alternator bracket (might get an alloy one CNC'd through work to be honest).
It's awesome being able to get machining and stuff done for free
Need to find a list of bellhousing bolts for the big block Vauxhalls too. Mine didn't come with any bolts

its 625x280x35mm (without the the outlets) Custom might be nice, if its a tight fit under the round nose.

Cheers for that Mike. Looks like it could be an option, I'll do some more measuring up tonight.
Tomf, only cam I've got is a billet 276 jobby that's BNIB. Nowt too lively though I'm afraid. I always think that for the price of a new cam, it aint worth going for a second hand one to be honest.

Actually, it's not so bad. Just the runners that I was mocking up in mild steel for the inlet manifold. Need to concentrate more on the subby to be honest
