Sorry havent posted for a while, been busy with work.
I just got some pics through of my engine build and its slowly taking shape, its taking time but perfection cant be rushed. The car should be back ready for the running in process in next 2 weeks.

Nice! What rods and pistons did you go for? Did you stay with original bore size or fit over sized pistons? Are you doing any head work or just replacing stock items?
