There is something rather intimate about an engine/heart transplant, some say its even where the soul is kept, Lee – she is exquisite, protect her, fondle her and relish her…

Awesome to see it back in another F

Lerch. You make a pretty good cuppa mate

I thought it best if I left you all to deal with the engine. Ive not a clue

It was a great day, good to see you all

Keen doing the engine change in the rain Have you got the new engine running yet?

Great work all round, engine swap and bodywork too

Nice pics

good work although not sure you really had the engine out as there is no picture showing you standing where the engine should be!

Glad you got it working though dude

Engine hoist + umbrella + cable ties + plastic bag = pop up gazebo

[quote="UNL35H"]Keen doing the engine change in the rain Have you got the new engine running yet?[/quote]


yeah mate all running....... shes a bit lumpy on tick over but gonna get her fettled with soon when i can afford it lol

Might need to adjust the idle speed or clean the MAF, or maybe even get new plugs - those had been sitting in the engine for about a year doing nothing

Good work getting the injectors sorted matey

she idles at 1250 cold like a dream but it feels a bit lumpy :s
