those compomotive TH's off eurorally on the nova..?
classics.
They weren't off him but Ben said he now has some for sale, he got them about a year ago from a rally car and had them fully refurbed then the decals re made. The picture was taken whilst the 1.4 was still in there as we had just been to Sneterton.
Great looking wheels though !
what size? 15's?
Yep !
Class Build :d
Get that heavy plate removed from the back and replaced with a sticky one lol
That engine is amazing lol The exhaust many is pretty mental to lol
Keep pics coming :thumb:
more updates this is porn!!!
I think the engine is going in tonight or over the weekend for the trial fit.
I'll get some pics when I am next up there
Another minor update !
Parts ordered and finaly arrived are :
Dry cell race battery
Large shift light to be used as low oil pressure lamp
FSE fuel pump
Cosworth filter
Fuel pump bracket
Heat protective sheets
The throttle body spacers showed up, these are 70mm but you can have them as big or as small as you like, bore size can go upto 52mm and they are designed to be used with Jenveys. If you want some just drop me a PM, they can be used before or after the TB's, obviously if mounted before the ID is different to the intake side of the throttle body if using tapers.
70mm ones work out at £40 each, I believe the ones from Jenvey are £44 + vat each and they are cast so no where near as nice looking.

The engine has been in, its now out with the flywheel and clutch now mounted up, the next time it goes in its staying in but I know its just a decision on the release bearing causing the hold ups.
I will have some fitted shots in the next week or so :)
^^^ nice mate get the pics up asap!!!
never saw this update..
quite a long tract length there sir..
Superb!
Tiny update :
The clutch release bearing eventually showed up today and it was for a small block box so back it goes to Helix and hopefully the correct one will be with him on monday.
I popped up today to have a browse at how its going, saw some top secret stuff going on which obviously I can't shed any light on at the this moment but small block owners may well be interested in it is all I can say !
Oil temp and pressure senders now fitted nicely out of the way, spacers and trumpets now all fitted to back plate although that was done after I left. Flywheel and clutch is now fitted as well so its literally a case of the bearing arriving and the engine going straight in ! at long last !

hahaha, like the way you did the oil pressure sender.
i take it the top secret small block mod is going to be a £££'s mod anyway...
Hundreds not thousands but it adds zero hp
torque?
All that hardware looks so proper.
nice mate we need vids off it though lol looks a right weapon!!Quote:

Custom rear mount :

mmmmm, shiney :)
whats the thinking behind the custom rear mount over a standard one ?
The engine is tilted slightly back from normal putting everything level, its minimal but obviously helps with the fitment of the inlet and filter mainly.
fair do's
gearlinkage looks trick aswell ;)
Looks good.
A corsa rear mount would have done the same thing.
Cheers Rick, the mount is very exact to get the gearbox to fit and stuff like that so a Corsa one probably wouldn't of been a direct fit either.
