                  Is the engine out for a rebuild at the min? What will you be using the car for once you have your target met?

                    the engine had bent a rod i believe, don't know why maybe running too much boost?. The previous owner had stripped the engine apart to rebuild it, but he never got round to rebuilding it.

                    Engine is currently at engine builders for

                    SCAT rods
                    ARP mains and head studs
                    Wossner oversize pistons
                    along with alot of other bits

                    Plan on getting a gtx3071 and tubular manifold shortly.

                    I don't have a specific use for the car really. fast road/ weekend toy/ track days.

                    To be perfectly honest i will probably get more enjoyment out of actually building the car and tinkering with it. Sad, i know

                      Make sure you upgrade the ignition from a distributor to avoid any more bent rods.

                      Best wishes.
