I will be getting a random loom off ebay so i can chop it and make it look pretty etc.I plan to spend a few months building the engine to a spec i want,then take it off the road before winter and doing the swap then. :cool:

Right so heres the engine pics as requested. :evil:
Pistons are Forged Mahle 82.48mm oversized,not too sure on  the rods yet but i will replace them with forged ones if they arnt.
The full engine looks in good nice,turns over by hand and has plenty of compression.

Will start the strip down fun next week  :cool:
Ive got some info on the engine and have been told that it was built by Grant Motorsport.Not heard of them but i will have a google later on. :smiley:

Grant Woodhatch was the owner from memory, based in and the Bath area, was a bit of a wideboy tbh.

He built a few engines for the Vento cup cars so they might be left overs etc.
