I'm currently in the process of hiding all of my wiring and mounting my fuse box assembly in behind my glovebox. The motor is currently being built and will be ready in the next few weeks.

Thanks mate! Who were you talking to that made brackets for me?

With the previous engine setup which was basically stock plus a set of 1.7 ratio roller rockers it made 312rwhp on 14psi.

The new setup utilises a camtech turbo grind cam, ported & polished heads +port matched inlet manifold, removed balance shaft, a double row timing chain and some custom made multi-layer cometics head gaskets. Hoping for around the 400-420rwhp once its up and running again.

Hating that they sacked him from my work. His advice and expertise were a great help in my build.

Thanks Hozy!

Pulled the dash out of this thing today

Doubt I will do a dash conversion as i have had the dash painted up black to suit the rest of my interior. I am curious though, what wiring would need to be modified to get it converted over? I have a list of things to do thats as big as my arm so i'm trying to add as little things to it as possible.
