Head gasket went today so I will be building my new motor sooner than planned!:mad0213:

I am going to do a show and tell along the way for anyone whose interested.

It will start next week and needs to be done by the 22nd as its the cornwall/plymouth meet!:action-smiley-065:

Parts to get excited about include full closed deck block, sti8 crank, carrillo rods, wossenger forged pistons, ported heads, cosworth gaskets, rcm oil pump, and arp studs.

Parts I dont already have will come from enginetuner and the car will go there once its run in for mapping.:biggrin:

Why not save yourself some pennies and build a stroker like mine Steve, the 2.5 crank is cheaper than the 2 litre version and we keep the rods and pistons in stock.
The extra torque is a real plus and I suspect that on a GT35R you will want as much from the engine as you can get.

Since I saw you last I have picked up another cdb motor so that stroker may still be an option m8. I'm gona strip it to see wot the block is like first and then I will pop up and see you.

Cheers m8
