Hello and welcome Keith, nice spec list you have.

[Eddie G]

Welcome to the club Keith.

[flash22]

A nice way to spend £15k+, is the block built or is it stock internals, any head work ?

[Burks]

Engine is internally stock for the moment.....will get it fully built eventually, stroker kit, throttle bodies, cosworth ported head etc. 
Saving the most costly modification till last 😅
