Looks top banana and if I was to ever do one I would go the whole hog of stitch welding the engine bay Just shows the attention to detail 
Was the engine rebuilt in anyways?

just painted everything and cleaned it up. had a visual look and it seemed like its had some work done not so long ago although the are no papers for it. its a coscast too a very quiet engine even from cold.
ive had the turbo re-con'd, new atuator, lightened fly-wheel, new clutch and release bearing, all new gaskets through out, new cambelt, rollers and tensioner, new water pump and oil pump.

alright mate, a coscast is the xe/let head that cosworth designed. its far better than the normal gm head as it does'nt go porous and a better all arounder
