SpikeyJp_68 Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Decided to take the engine out today becuase how hard can it be.... About 9 hours, many many many swear words and plenty of cuts later it's finally removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Intercooler has been mounted... bumper needs a tiny bit of cutting and the crash bar needs shaving on the rhs but fits really really wellTurbo kit mocked up aswellJust need to get bolts to attach the engine to the mount then I can build the bottom end. Just waiting on a valve spring compressor to get the head finished off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
