Finally got the engine installed in the car. 12 months to get to this point.

Replaced radiator, Power Steering Rack, Tailshaft while it was out. New Power Steering and Trans Cooler, Sniper Fuel Pump.

Big thanks to Baz from Bazspec for guiding us through the engine assembly, advice on parts, the porting and rebuild of the supercharger etc.

Robbie and Jackson from Belrose Autos for piecing the parts puzzle together and troubleshooting all of the issues.

Joe from Ace Performance for the tune.

Made 274RWHP, 204RWKW, and 561 NM.

We ran the 71mm pulley in the end, resulting in about 10.4psi boost.
