Nice, good work Alan! Start a progress thread in the projects section.

What gearbox are you planning on running? Also what shafts etc?

I you need any help/advice let me know, although you might not need it as you seem pretty clued up :)

Good work, looking forward to seeing the progress. I don't know of any decent built LET nova's in Ireland, the last two I saw were brought out of england.

Looks nice but i really dont see the need for people to fit these huge intercoolers on LET's.

Agree! dont need to be that big at all and look gash as they are not built for a nova at all!
Better off getting one built to your own design with the inlet/outlet facing the bulkhead!

Fair play to for taking engine out like, you seem like a very patient person so should do well with sorting all the problems!
