Currently running dizzy until I get Megajolt installed.

any plans to fit a cooler? If so what one? i'm guessing you don't want to mod the bonnet at all to keep it looking standard.

An intercooler will be fitted once the engine and gearbox has done 1000 miles on low boost pressure to run it in. The engine and gearbox is all brand new.

A friend of mine is a aluminium fabricator and so is going to make one to fit in the space available.

well done tom, you did say it will start before xmas

Update as of today.....

Got the cooling system plumbed up enough to run the engine properly, ran it at 2500rpm for 20mins to knock the cam and followers in, water temp and oil pressure both good, slight oil leak from the filter housing but nipped that up and OK now.

Next job is to carry on with the wiring loom, at the moment the engine starts with a combination of pushing blade connectors on and linking things together with crocodile clips......

....and whats wrong with that?
