We didn't need to, like I said! We used the bolt whole that has a thread next to the standard pully! We checked the other 2 blocks and they where the same!

It fowls on the 26 front cover at the top passenger side, Either trim the head back cover or mod the power steering mount!

yeah i should probably write it up a little better, just trying to remember everything so i don't forget Just remembered 2 other things, if your using a r32 inlet manifold, one of the pipes that comes up at the rear on the outs side needs to be moved as this fouls on the brake booster, the other issue is the inlet manifold also hits the transmission dipstic, so i bent it up more, just two issue we had when trying to put the head on

So I'm running into a few problems with the Cas and my old ecu! Seems the wolf ecu v4 wasnt exactly made to run the twin cam, and thats what the v4 plus was for! I ve now got to try and get my disc out of the vl dizzy to fit in the rb twin cam cas! And try and get it to line up modify the mounting and get the disc to point the right way fml Once I've sorted this I can try and start the car! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
