Great colour Ivor but a bit too close the green of the Dart. I spotted this car a couple of years ago which had me thinking gold.
Just caught up on this build amazing love it
Great work

Looks like the 408 is moving further up the to do list, might start by porting the heads while I try and get some money together

Fitted the crank scraper today. This is a hand made one from Ishihara & Johnson, you have to custom fit it to your particular engine which takes a few hours. The white teflon actually just touches and wears to the correct clearance. They make some proper mad stuff, have a look at crankscrapers.com.
