im very impressed, you seem to be steaming along. It should be one bad boy when its readyy:evillaugh

made the mounts yesterday. they look so bad i didnt take a photo. i think i will use these to make a jig then get them made properly by someone that knows what there doing:D

i am going to get the box out and re-built but as im full of motavation and the weather is good it seemed like the best time for my wife to rope me into somethings for the rest of today great.

i had the turbo on with the waste gate and the monster down pipe wouldnt fit. ill have to do this when i get the engine and box back. this might be a pain to do as there is only so much stuff you can fit in the space .

If you\'ve got turbo\'s going on that, tell me you have aircon... I\'ve seen a few FD\'s without aircon, and I reckon they must be NUTS!! The cabin get very hot, as does the engine... If you\'ve got it DON\'T DISCONNECT IT!!

Whats happened to the oringal engine (is it for sale). Looks like youre gunna have one hell of a motor. Nice to see another FC3 project, this time with the best of both worlds.

im keeping the old one to go into the other one when that goes bang. it will also let me have a go at a rebiuld if my finances recover from this.

to update the box is now being done and ill do the brake lines on the week end.

there is a lot of money there. that is my nice large port engine . a very nice job done by carl hayward.

an expensive clutch and flywheel and you can see the wastegate.
