Its been a long time but it's back at last. All I have to do now is try and remember how I took it all out so that I can put it all back together againconfused

Wicked - doesn't matter how you put it back together, it'll still be FAST!!!

Do you get a 530 HP sticker for the back to get those boy racers going.....?

Nice one Brett, bet you can't wait, no wonder you were keen for Hockenheim and a euro run next year.

It even looks like a piece of art......nice, enjoy.

Whoa! All hail the Gixer!

Nice one Brental, can't wait to see it go! By the way, Sciencebird and I will not be coming down to yours until it's done, in case we have to help put it back in.

I hope your going to paint or replace the crank pulley before it goes back in......would be a shame to have a lovely pretty engine and that scabby old pulley! Have you thought about fitting a harmonic balancer one?

It'll already have a harmonic balancer Nige, V8's need them to sort out the crank vibration the engine configuration naturally produces.

Got out in the garage for a bit tonight and its now back where it belongs.



As for the dyno numbers Tesicle, yes I have them and had them at the Fairmile but you wasn't there

and yes I will be running it in and yes I have got a 530hp sticker with it to go on the back.

‘And in the Grove, by Gate and Hill, midst merry throng and market clatter – stood the Hall of the Mountain Grill where table strain’d ‘neath loaded platter (from the Legend of Beenzon Toste).’

Ah, they don't write 'em like they used to! Just don't mention Stacia.

Or Heavy Metal Thunder - Saxon !
Very tasty Motor, look forward to a glimpse at the fairmile sometime ! More power than a new ZO6 as well.
Funny, I saw a brand new one of those engines in a training centre the other week!

Well it certainly looks great in the car, a wonderfully tidy installation. Congratulations!
