Cams were custom made from billet and took forever to do.
valves and springs and titanium retainers were to bad to get hold of etc.

Massive thanks to Cj and Justin for helping out today.
Fuel tank repositioned and bolted down now
Fuel tank filler mounted
Fuel filter mounted in engine bay
Fuel feed line run under the car but not clipped in place yet
One manifold and turbo and downpipe fitted
Radiator removed and modified to move pipe connections to take oe hoses
Bumper and lights out as going to fit morrettes I have at home to aid intercooler pipe runs
Rear bulkhead now fitted and parcel shelf fitted
Rear side windows secured and ready for 180+mph lol
Holes in the bulkhead filled
Throttle body fitted for mocking up.
Plus loads of other bits I have forgotten about
Very happy with progress and lots of stuff also planned

Keeping tight lipped eh? Can't give away all your secrets
I've never been to any SSO or 30-130 etc but once this is ready, i think i'm going to make the trips to see this in action once it's done

Its a race car. I am not going to paint or powder coat everything to make it heavier.
The main aim is to go fast not look pretty, on that line the inlet manifold maybe going.
I am even concious that had I bought a shell and not had it sprayed it would be lighter!

That manifold looks pretty heavy, surely a custom made one is on the cards

Few changes, for ease and speed of being finished.
Manifold changed and altered radiator fitted, ps pump mock fitment
Stevenson motorsport ecu loom arrived
Morrettes painted and test fitted, intercooler pipework made from bits I had laying around so can be used to plan real pipework.

asap
waiting of a few parts so I can finish this mock up and again waiting on more parts to complete the proper engine.. then gearbox out, engine out, proper engine in and build it up.
just waiting on those parts and then time to do it.
If parts I am waiting on arrive this week then a chance it might be a nice christmas present for me to hear the engine run for the first time.

This is gonna be awesome when its finished. Hope you're gonna post a vid of the first fire up for us all to hear 
Why the manifold change? I'm assuming because of pipe routing issues...... Thats a lot of i/c pipework you have there
I can't help but think, though, you should have painted the morrettes black and complimented them with black crystal sidelights......
