Nice. Everyone knows blue blocks make more power too :cool:
Are all the pistons etc brand new too? Must be costing a fair wack, not that it bothers you considering how much the rest of the cars spec must have cost.

Now aiming to have it in one piece over the next few weeks. There has been a bit of a delay with a few bits and bobs for it. Like sourcing the parts for the pedal end of a hydraulic clutch setup.
Engine build is coming along, its just waiting on new piston rings to arrive then i have everything for the proper full build. Up untill then i am just doing the dry build to check all clearences on the engine. Just waiting for the head set to arrive and a water pump which should be here tomorrow then i can bolt the head down.
Shell progress is slow, waiting for the ap master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch setup and then i can get that all plumbed in and working.
Seems like a lot of work for a photo shoot then a for sale ad though...
It'll be worth it.
