Small block nova build

[Jonlem]

Bump for Ben, no updates and going to be 8-10 weeks until there is one due to parts being on order.

The car will be on the Vauxsport stand at PVS so anyone wanting more info on the engine and the package can speak to the man in person as I can't honestly answer all the questions I've asked via PM.

Another BTTT

I believe the DKE Crank has finally turned up so the new engine will be going together shortly and this one will be coming out which is still for sale if anyones interested ?

I went to Bedford with him last month and had a cracking day out, still shocks me just how well it hangs on in the bends and how it just loves being flat out, GREAT fun !

Anyway here is a video, excuse the **** quality but I can't convert it from mov to avi without it dropping a shed load of quality ?

[Jonlem]

I'll ask him to write out a spec list, infact he is over later so I'll sort it then !

[draper]

[Jonlem]

I'll ask him later if he wants that posting but its a nice build.

Spec of the old engine to appear in a advert later tonight or tomorrow

The new engine spec is :

Bored and Decked C16XE Block
Omega High Compression Pistons (unsure on C/R)
Arrow Steel rods
DKE Steel Crankshaft
Glyco Bearings
Cometic Multi Layer Head Gasket
Pace Dry Sump Kit
Neil Roper Cylinder Ported Cylinder Head
Oversize REC Valves
Bronze Guides
Arrow Solid Lifters
Piper Valve Springs
Piper Retainers
Piper Custom Camshafts
Piper Vernier Pulleys
45mm Tapered Jenvey Throttle Bodies
MBE 967 Ecu and Loom
Tony Law Exhaust manifold

It will be bolted to a F20 box with a Quaife SCCR Gearset and a ATB diff

With another 80 odd hp I can only imagine how mental the car will be, I'll never genuinelly knock a small block nova again, if you have the funds its the way to do one but very costly.

The engine will be in this year and mapped early next year
