well started the up date today
engine out and partially stripped in readiness for a new cam new, piston rings, bearings and a new case.
out will go the 48idas and in comes a new turbo setup based around a CB blow through kit but with a stinger 4244 ecu and fuel injection.
gearbox will basically be the same long street gears but with an LSD
Started with the easy stuff today by putting on the new wheels, thanks Markus . Lots to do but I hope to be up and running by mid May, lets see what happens

Looking good Ron Looking forward to a run in it when its done no problem, point me in the direction of the nearest takeaway and we're off Sounds like you got a plan. But here's to hoping those wheels are REALLY heavy sorry Gyles only 9.5 lbs each I think the tires are heavier, still there always the 7" ercos for the slicks |

After a few false starts I now have my new engine case, parts from the USA on the way here and all my AN fitting and hard lines have been delivered, Hopefully I'll be able to get some of the oil and fuel pluming sorted and the the line lock mounted this week end and that will leave me a couple of weeks to get the engine sorted before Gary's picnic Photos later |
