funny you should say that!
going to be dummy building the head etc so i can then cc it and check for clearance issues..... then the head will get the final skim and build.
i have been delayed by 8 bronze valve guides, finding somewhere cheaper than sbd was easy enough, but finding them in the length i wanted wasnt so easy! finally found some tho, so they are fitted.
yesterday i was on the phone to think automotive, should be expecting a package from them on tuesday containing a few goodies:
1 x pace 2 piece dry sump tank
1 x electric water pump controller
and in 2 weeks time
1 x electric water pump
they may get the pump in sooner tho which will be nice!
after that its just hose work....... cant do any of that till the engine is in the car tho....
suppose i could do some more work to the shell, but i dont have time at the minute.
ill get some pics later

They're secret cams so Mark can start the "I've got these awesome bits but the spec is secret" craze on CS

Last time I said '300?' I was told that they are too tame, being that they are off the shelf and these had to be custom made
