Are you sure that your speakers are working????
Are they running through a amp?
Does the amp work?
Maybe your new stereo doesnt  like country music

That's what we ran in chrises car, nice tough street camshaft

Just remove the bonnet

Dude it's not that far to drive for that motor I have a engine that pro250(Dave) built and it is a very strong motor and didn't cost the earth.

Come here with 3k you can have the 200rod engine out of my yellow car ill never use it im blown now  

specs 200rod crossy, 10.5 comp, 218@ cam, basic head and springs,  ballanced, 4barrel and 465 holley, stock grafhed dissy and steel gear, engines got less then 4000kn on it can see running and drive. burns tyres easy but will not turn past 5500 the cams to small. would be making 170 200rwhp at a guess does need a much bigger cam but its low end power is brutal

not looking for offers cause its a turn key engine with all the sorting done for you  

All totally fitted now, applied power and all the sensors worked just sorting drive by wire. Then I have to source some cams fit them then dyno not long to go now.

what the tree trunk penis??? You can be the pioneer on that one.

No you are wrong, I invented it all. You're extremely lucky that I am generous enough to share it all with you... Such is my vast, immeasurable talent that I am sometimes, wait... always in awe of myself for coming up with such mind-blowing, god-like, pure and original ideas. I also have a gargantuan, tree trunk-like penis.

Fits like a cock in a sock

Put the engine back in now and sorting all the little things out, got some wiring to sort. Ford changing the starter motor over to the other side of the engine has been the biggest problem for me keep finding little things to have to move or rejig but really taking shape now.
 

 

 

 

Glenn Seatons ford credit el has always been one of my favourite race cars. Loved that car.

One thing my dad used to say was"what's a good way to make a small fortune motor racing???? Start with a large one"

Modded the firewall for starter clearance another item off the list.
 

 

 

 

 

 

Got the sump sorted out finally, fit in the car sung but Im happy there is at least 4mm clearance all round so that will do me, also had to relocate the drain. Searched around for balancer options but ended up going the same as i had before. The alternator that came with the engine was stuffed and i couldn't be farked sorting out serpentine belts and tensioners so balancer, pulley vbelt done.
 

 

42.... I'd have thought that was an easy one to work out

I like torque cause torque is pull and a good pull feels grouse
