i can see me living at work for the next week...that won't go down well at home..

Would love to offer you space but at 40miles think I would be to far for you.

just get the paint done and the glass in, it will be ok outside then

U should have got it done it that week

Buy a big gazebo

this evenings......

the engine turned up........feck its big!!





started reistalling wiring loom..infact finished it.





now aswell as everything else the brakes...

modded hydroboost to fit...including spacer plate and linkage..painted..
took awhile..has to be perfect..brakes afterall..

steam cleaned engine and put in workshop

other odds and sods done..

what year is that engine mate

date code on block is 82..been rebuilt though...

fitted hydro boost..

primed up rngine ready for paint..

its prob only the 140 bhp version then bud, just to warn you before you put it in.

yep..possibly so,except its the military one.it says on air box 190hp..

however i agree sod all for 6.2l..however the torque!

anddddddddd...i have brand new turbo to go on..lpg injection and nitros...

so thats the power sorted then

today mary and i got stuck in...

engine sorted!!for those in the know,you will notice injector nuts not painted!!





the thennnnn....





5 coats later







just the interior,brakes,engine,exhaust,wiring,fitting up,upholstering....blah blah to do....by THURSDAY!!!..no hope

oh and bonnet and scuttle panel to source and paint..

the engine looks rather grey

not fancy doing it black to contrast the red of polished silver ?

cos you gotta bleed em up.

did it have a turbo with it?

no turbo with...have one already bn in box..gonna have to fab up manifolds,but i may well get around this by inverting or swaping over..not sure yet,been too busy doing everything else to think about that..
if all else fails then usa ebay for 6.5 manifolds..

i like grey..same colour as cummins engines..and decided there would be too much black if painted engine black too,though rocker covers may still go black

wanted..2 t3 or t3/4 hybrid.(off 2.5-3l engines) or TD5 turbochargers...

twin turbo idea I take it ?

well i have a single that will be fine,but i likey the idea of twin small ones..quicker spool up and easy manifold mods...(ie drill holes heat to red hot weld in new tube,block off oe exits)no pipe going under engine...and it looks kool....that ,tweek ip 1/4 turn and advance timing 3 degrees should give 250hp and 450-500lbs torque ..let alone adding lpg and nitros...
that should go well...
