Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Nah, checked all the above - it's just way too small. Small block rad meets stroked, tuned big block and fails. Should have just ponied up for a new one in the first place when I was buying all the other bits.

It has left the US apparently, so might get here and in before the 2nd.

Jonny, subject to the US visa people liking me looks like a move to Cali is on the cards. Double irony if it never turns a wheel in anger over here.... ;)

I don't want to be harsh but it genuinely would be hilarious if you transport it back to USA before you leave any 11's in this country. (would have been a lot cheaper and faster to have built over there I'm sure).
