Engine complete, just waiting to get it custom tuned. $$$

Playing around with a VR V6 thermo fan to get more power and ditching the old crank driven fan. Should be good for around 20hp im told, and for $20 a cheap mod. I'll update soon.
Ditched that, got Ford au twin thermos to go in!

Nearly done now! Parts have been fully machined and are ready to go! gonna send all the parts to "jet hot coatings" for that killer endless shine look, then all i need is my polished intake pipes and a good tune.Updated 15/11/07
