Don't put another engine in it mate get that one built properly. Your going to need to take it off the road for a while but it will be worth it when its done.
This is the reason why I'm not buying any of the cars you are showing me you need a fully forged engine in a classic if you want over 300 BHP.
Am goin too sleep am at work in the morning they called me out to do some overtime, I will ring ya tomorrow mate...

Mate I don't want to say I told you so but there is nothing special about a bog standard closed deck block. The cranks are crap I seem to remember telling you this but you didn't want to know.
I'm gutted for ya mate and I will help out as much as I can to get your scoobie back on the road. Anything you need just ask

Did some work on a turbo you once owned Andy, I pulled a piece of melted piston out of the exhaust housing the size of a pebble, that doesn't happen when you take it easy
