I've just bought his HG and bolts off his ebay site - I'll get the manfold gasket and the oil stem seals from vx. I may just get some new camshaft seals on standby just in case. What else do you reckon I'll need?
I'm off to pick up some s/h heads in a bit. The idea being that I can get them ready with the new manifolds fitted and the head given the smallest skim you can get and check the core plugs etc so I can swap them over in one weekend rather than take mine off and then realise I have issues (I suspect a coolant leak from the core plug Pass side but I cannot verify
)
I had to take the gearbox oil pump to a fabrication place to get it skimmed, looks like it'll take nearly 2 weeks with his backlog though. Once I get the heads swapped the gearbox I am refurbing will get swapped. Inbetween the bodywork is getting sorted, I have found the Holts 68L is a very good match for my paint colour, and some new wishbones are going on tomorrow morning (hangover permitting)
