So we got the engine in after a days graft!
whilst converting it over we changed the cambelt and water pump.
we tried to test start it but realized that a wire that reads the RPM was destroyed so the car wouldn't turn over!  :sad:
Hopefully get the part tomorrow and find out if there is anything else wrong.
I suppose its the trouble shooting period and hopefully there isn't too much trouble!

QUALITY!!

Reminds me so much of doing mine apart from it was outside and I didnt have a pit! That 3" exhaust is going to sound SICK, your going to love it the first time you drive it but you will get the craving for more power so be warned!
