The engine will be finished very soon. Were waiting on shims but Olly posted them to Daz today.
The engine/box/induction / up-down pipes / headers / exhaust / oil cooler / IC etc will have a trial fitting. When all is well it;s all stripped down again and completely stripped.
All relevant holes in engine bay that are not required will be encircled in red.
These will be plated by SPR when prepping for the paint.
The new suspension will be fitted together with the new wheels/tyres then I will collect from Doncaster & return it to SPR in Uckfield.
They will then fit new bumpers / splitter / bonnet / reverse scoop / and can achieve correct cutting or arches & fitting of wide arches. Allowances for additional weight will be made. (engine / box etc)
When built & prepped it will be painted
nice colours
Then back up to Doncaster for the final assembly.
Jolly Green will be fitting the ECU and mapping the car initially then sorting out 20% Meths.
When completed it;s off to RCM to have the suspension & alignment sorted together with a full Matt Clark inspection (and does he inspect!)
He will check every mm of the car.
Onto a dyno for a 400 mile running in period, followed by adjustments & more running in.
Then the fun starts. I have been assured by all involved that this thing will be quick, and will be running between 640 - 650 @ the f/wheel, so power to weight should be really cool.
The good part is that the engine has been built with a lot more power in mnd.
A Gt40 - 48 with the RCM NOS system can be fitted with very little else to do.
