Sure would. Will let you know.
 
Its been a bit of a wait but finally got it today :celebrate: Just need to find time to fit it now and get it run in but its my son's birthday next weekend then we are at a christening the weekend after so time is going nowhere at the min. Will be sorted for the better weather tho. Cant wait to get out with it now!!
 
get in there mate about time i bet that was a knightmare waiting for it,,belive me mate waiting for my oddie was killing me lol get some pics up i gotta see it
 
Will get some posted tomorrow.......up at 4am to go to Harrow :(
Was a bit of a wait but a nice birthday pressie to myself!! Im tempted to book a few days off to get it fitted and run in but don't think it would go down well with the missus!!
 
I reckon the stock 18/46 gearing will be too low with all the extra power from the Stevo engine so in anticipation I have just picked up 20/44 blackbone gears on way home today :D The quality looks excellent and I have heard good things about them so will be fitting them when I change the engine over.
 
same gears im running mate but on my layshaft diff side its 16/48 and 20/44 and its a good ratio much better now ive got the power to pull it i even think 22/42 would be good
 
The hardware......

I gave Stevo my old engine (the 1 that had sucked half of Deeside through the K&N filter prior to me buying it) so he could try to salvage some parts off it but all that was used were the covers!! I might change them as not keen on the silver and it didnt take to being trimmed very well.

Mine is slightly different on the layshaft side being 4wd but will try it and see how it fairs at 20/44. Yours could definitely go to 22/42 without any problems.
 
I will need to mod the clutch housing to fit the FG engine mount but only a 2min job after doing the last 1. No point swapping it over as it will need to doing anyway for building up my 2wds for the kids.
 
Ive finally succumbed and bought some ally engine mounts :eek: I wouldnt have bothered but they were recommended by Stevo as pretty essential with the power output from this engine. Went for proper FG mounts rather than trying the chinesium offerings on ebay and finding out they are made of cheese then having to buy FG anyway.
