I think the wheels need a brighter centre colour personally. Perhaps "straw" (light gold colour) would go OK with the yellow?

Quick update, after successfully remapping the N/a engine with TPS & Map compensation, I've started to remove the old engine. Exhaust off first, so did a little trail fit.

Fits really well, with loads of Clearence to bulkhead, oil drain and downpipe. Also will work just as well with my GT1752, if I decide to chase bigger numbers.

Started work on my new short motor today. Spend most of the day just cleaning parts. Managed to get crank and rods all in and sorted. Next camshaft and timing gear.

Very nice build! Regarding cam follower play in your (now no longer used) engine block....have you checked the option of boring the holes to suit larger diameter MGB type followers? I think all the Monte works mini's ran with this mod, might be a good option to get a working spare block again.

Plan is to use the damaged block as either a coffee table or may be some use for someone's K head project.

Get that k head on it and in the red mini when you have finished this one! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

This morning I went to pick up my manifold and 2 piece downpipe from the TIG welders. Got there and 'Sorry not done', so really pissed off I decided to get the car up & running in Naturally aspirated form to run it in. So blocked off the turbo oil feed, fitted lcb & exhaust etc.
