Managed to get a couple of hours in the garrage this week
Built up my new M-tech short shift linkage, Also started spraying up the cage.

Possibly too late, but if you used a Kent AST cam then it's better suited (lift/duration) to carbs. The NVO cams, I believe are better for injection. I run a near identical engine, but with a Kent AST2 and seeing 105bhp and torque at the wheels on the setup run - more to comeit equates to about 130bhp+ at the fly
Good luck with the rest of the built - looks great so far, like a trip down memory lane for me.
Thanks for the advice. At the moment I plan to run the engine as I brought it as it all seemed to work well and to save on cash too!
Gearbox mount on and linkage all ready to go!
Found a crafty hole in my CV Boot.
So on with a new boot and a top up with grease. Simples!
Painted the cage Matt Black
Then added some more shiny parts to the engine
Went for Bosch Super 4's Hopfully they should help with starting the engine if nothing else. Iv heard good and bad reviews however the guy behind the counter seemed to think that these would be best especilaly T40's in over fueling situations
Also found these M8 Studs with allen head caps which should make taking the manifold off a breeze
And some free engine porn (The manifold is now fully wrapped!)
Iv taken delivery of loads of shiney parts all waiting to go on. This is particually nice!
Not long now untill I no longer need the car for commuting. Counting down then days untill I can get stripping!

Finished my placement so work can now start on the Nova! Managed to get quite alot done this weeked.
Made a catch tanks using a sports bottle from pound land!
Then fitted my snap off boss
Then started to remove all the trim. Takes about 5 minutes to completly strip a Nova! Just like playing with LEGO
About 25kg's Saved
Time to remove the sound deadening, Tricky stuff this
Using pipe freeze works a treat but at £20 a can it probaly isnt worth it as I later found that a heat gun works almost as well
About 30 mins later
To remove the tar I used this stuff, works a treat!
