Engine is in.. with no hassles! just had to get rocker cover screws, new thrust bearing and an alternator bracket  so i was well chuffed.... next its off to Cesco to get the Driveshaft made, was quoted roghly $700 with the yokes for the Celica Gear box and the VL Diff!..... Ordered a set of 3 K&N Filters for the Carbys on Friday.... So the whole project should dedinately be finished b4 xmas.....
The only thing left to be engineered are the Bucket seat mounts... guess i just have to give the measurements to an engineer and the rest should be simple!  hopefully!

 F#ck...... i am destined to never have this fricken car on the road!  got a call late last night that my number 6 piston wasn't holding pressure... upon further investigation it seems my cylinder head is cracked  not the best of news, and not the cheapest of items to replace if it can't be fixed! Anyway it's at the machine shop and fingers crossed it can be salvaged....

I was just asking because i can get them from auto barn for cost or less than cost price. I've got one in my car also and only paid about $90 for my air filter.

Hey man,
THe HR will be out on the streets over the next couple of weeks so we can go for a cruise. I blew the 202 up BIG TIME after I had just finished rebuilding the bastard so Im looking at building a motor like yours. Im looking at doing a couple of different things to yours though cause its in a HR which of course is smaller.
Anyways dude it looks SIC!
Good things those carbs hey??

Hey Matty! Good to see your project is coming along too! Make sure you add it totalrpm when it's all done! (think it might be the oldest car here - 1966?)
