Cos i'm a bit impatient, i just went n bought a complete running 305 for a bit less than it'd cost to get one of the other motors running right.. Tonight the old 305 comes out, the nice gay dress-up bits go onto the new motor, and in it pops... Only thing is, no tunnel ram, apparently 900cfm is too much for it I'd kinda worked that out myself, but better coming from someone who knows, Chris Round, and Ian Armitage seem good guys to listen to when it comes to building a Chevy, real friendly and real helpful. Once the motor's in and running, it's back to the few bits i need to do for MOT, which i don't think are gonna be back breakers.. Still aiming for Whitby, but who knows? I'd love to get out before then....
About Halo's testes,,, did you ask for them back? I'll seal em in formaldehyde and have em in the car as a good luck charm

So any suggestions why? Would you have advertised it with the reg number showing??? DVLA are watching us Cool, they can come and watch me making a hash of finishing this car off...... Shoulda stuck to bikes, old dog, new tricks syndrome......... We'll get there, wherever "there" is Charlie dont worry about it.We all had to start some where and yours is an excellent project to start with.... Keep up the faith and shout at it now and then it'll soon come together mate... Cheers Marcus

Doin't think it's the work that's phasing me, i think it's the time everything takes.. I could have stripped, built, and fitted a bike engine in a day, even though there's a hell of a lot more components..... Suppose it's what you're used to,, i will get there, or die trying..
On a lighter note, i had a go in Hoppy's Mustang, never driven a manual left hooker before (no jokes about hookers please)
