i am unsure what to do on this one. its doing my head.

i am not sure weather to jack in building the engine up or not.
if i add up all the parts i have for the new engine it'll come to around ?900 which in any terms is quiet a bit of cash to have.

so what do i do?

engine is a x16xe with mantzel cap, chipped ecu, kent cams, lightened and balanced flywheel, helix paddle clutch, btb manifold, fse boost valve.

What else would you spend the money on? If you're not desperate for the cash to fund something else, and have all the parts there (plus the time to work on it), I'd say keep going with it. It'd be a shame to have spent that much money on it so far and not have something to show for it.

Build it up, use the car for abit and enjoy the engine, then if you need/want the cash take it out and break it?

Sounds like it should be a fast motor. Keep going son.

Winter Blues are hitting everyone about now, ignore the cold Nova interior & dream of sun kissed days ragging through lanes & B roads....

Sell the useless tiny engine and buy a proper one, and then spend the rest of the money on a prostitute lol

i am buying a house very soon.

have funds saved but this will help me out some more.

i am soo tempted to keep it, but then i think, i could just sell the lot for now and buy another engine once i have settled in my new home.

and its not that its taking so long, i am not bothered by the cold.

i guess if i fitted the engine last week when i had the bay empty. i would be loving the power right now.
