James, I'm not really in any rush for it back, but it would be nice to get it in before the weather gets awful! Rob has said the end of this month, so i will give him another call next Friday to see how he is getting on (he has confirmed they are working on it) Spec wise, its very similar to your engine, minus the head work yours had (valve springs ect) Rob has re-used the Scat rods i had, and replaced the pistons with some 75mm PEC ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
