Small update, its all back in the car and the factory ECU was struggling to deal with the new displacement figures so my planned Ecu upgrade has been brought forward. Dave Smith of American Car mag came along to write a tech feature of the install along with James Murray of Megasquirt. Both are good friends of mine so it was all a good laugh to be honest although it didnt quite go to plan. Had a bit of an idle issue, with the timing set right and now being able to access all the engine controls, turned down the idle valve to pretty much off and took a load of fuel out of the map on idle. James then coverd the whole of the throtte body up so no air could pass.... Still idling at 1700rpm. Fair to say i had a little air leak. Because we had take a load of fuel out of the map, when we turned the lights off, it was clear which cylinders were running lean. Soooo, we stripped it all down and found the gasket had slipped when i fit the intake Picked up new gaskets yesterday and stuck them to the manifold first. Will go down tonight and put it all back together and fire her up again Currently sat like this

I like that glowing orange paint on your exhaust manifolds, Mark! ;-) Good luck with the re-run bud

It sounds lovely, and it looks like a work of art. Now the timings sorted it can't be far off ready to road test, can it? Of course there is a small obstruction in the way. Actually, a large, orange, immobile, metal obstruction... Can you dig it out backwards Mark?
