well, I've decided since I don't need to mod plate, just an engine number change for main roads, i'll fill you in with what I've acturtly done with the supermont,

as some may remember, I'm friends with bigredel (Hayley) and her fiancé jayson who owns the car ss this, now jayson was upgrading to after market gear, so I stuck my hand up for his old stuff, which I have had in my possession for the last month,

I've had the new motor since the day before the old SOHC came out, in that time I've done all the welsh plugs, all the gaskets and seals,

just running the standard exhaust manifold unless a cheap set of extractors come up,

i'm 90% confident, it will live this weekend, the heater box and body looms will probably go in tonight, hoping the motor goes in tomorrow afternoon and then the box, and all the oils and waters will be done then, the dash, Saturday, once I've soldered some joints :D
