And here she is, all delivered! I've just unbolted my current N/A engine earlier tonight, and I'll be removing it when I can get ahold of an engine crane. Meanwhile, I'll be assembling the 25/30 and preparing rest of the car for its arrival. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thats a really nice bench you got it on there. Dam you didnt waste any time getting pics up. Show us some pics of the engine bay after you opened fire on it last night ... Tim if you look hard enough you can see this as being your engine in the future Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If you went to all that trouble, wouldn't you neaten the wiring up at the back of the bay? And hide the ignition module, rather than leave it on the coil pack cover? AND remove the fusebox? Not impressed! "MR VLT RB30DET" And hole in the chassis for intercooler piping. Not a fan. But yeah, something like that. No pics of the N/A engine bay death, as nothing really changed. Well, I fixed the infamous VL overheating problem of the head being higher than the radiator - unbolt the engine mounts! Bang! Should be getting a crane tonight, so pics then......

fark your hard to please ...... I cant wait to see when your engine bay looks that good !! Thought your only after 200 rwkw.... guess you dont me wiping my ass with your head every time we go out for a cruise Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cruising isn't about who comes first. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Whats r u hoping to run down the quarter ?

I've got no quarter mile aspirations, and no idea what a fully optioned 25/30 Berlina with 200rwkw would run. Maybe 13s? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hahaha when did u get the engine out ?? im offended fucker where was my call !!!

Remember me calling you when you were out floating in the bay? And remember the voicemail from the day before? Yeah. Those were your opportunities. I'm not retarded dude, I can do 99% of it myself. You can help with the wiring. I'm going to PM you right now about this weekend..... Edit: Oh, and update - I replaced the front struts with new shocks, lowered springs (Pedders; red coloured, no idea how low. Does have a part number if anyone is in the know? Can't tell with motor out), and VLT discs and brakes. Also put in a 1" master cylinder. Lowering the back end this weekend (hopefully) with FE2 springs, and putting on my disc brake setup.
