Told you it was easy :) good times!
I knew it would be easy, but I didn't want to chance it incase it cracked on me!
Getting my cam and 40's on Saturday too, will have a few nights out in the garage again!!!

Calibra now has a 3" top hat on it.:thumb: Going like a pig though, sensor or air flow meter away on it and can't get it worked out!!
Can't wait to see it fitted myself, I'm a bit confused as to what distributor/coil to use!!
Haven't updated this in a while, but I'm still working away at it!! I just seem to get into it deeper and deeper all the time.
Started to put the cam etc in, but ended up splitting the engine so it's now getting a mini rebuild and the head ported and polished. Should hopefully have it all back together next week at some point, and my radiator should be here by then too so all systems go to get the donkey in!!!
good job adrian get some pics up of the progress..
Liking the carbs! Gonna have to get me some ;)
Can't wait to see it in april!
Anymore work done to this mate:thumb:
nice carbs dude i want some lol
It's been a bit quiet on the GSi front lately, I've been buying and selling to many others!!!lolQuote:

If it is, that isn't my old one.
Got a call on Tuesday to say that I could pick my engine up today, so got it fitted this evening. Have a bit of plumbing to do tomorrow, and then off to a local guy to get it wired up, and set up properly. Should be movable under it's own power next weekend all being well!!!:)
your cars coming on very nicely +rep
Cheers, got messed about with the engine there for far too long, but hopefully that's me back on track now!!!lolQuote:

So left the radiator etc out until I get that sorted as it'll make the job of changing the manifold again if needs be.lol
Also need the top hose for the radiator, I seem to have loads of 1.2 ones, but my GSi one has went walkies!!
looks really nice mate
Forgot that I had a few pictures before I took it away!!
Just to prove that the engine is in!!
