My_Names_Buck Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks Gareth, will be running 225bhp standard to start with but will probably be looking for some more power once i'm used to it Do you mean "not the best mehanic"? you but someone who is perhaps the best mechnic :s and that sure ain't me, lol!The engine is back in it now and is nearing its completion Sam.
