Been a while since i posted on the progress of my 1275GT,due to work and other commitments, but at last some progress as i have had a free weekend and managed to fit the engine,no real drama's,clutch bled and seems tobe ok.
I have a couple of questions.

1.Have a new cylinder head gasket to fit but it doesnt have any marks on it to say top/front, so not sure which way to fit

2. Didnt have a radiator with the engine, but have been given on off a 998cc will it be ok?

Answers appreciated.

Some pictures.
