Small update, send the engine manual .pdf to Nas this morning.
He said block and crank from my original engine were in good condition and he's happy with them, heads were sh*t though. Apparently both were just really bumpy and crappy and sh*t in general.
On the contrary, heads from Shane001's engine are apparently much better than those from the original engine I had, so the engine will be Frankenstein style - heads from Shane001's engine and block from original engine from dstocks/akys.

Can't get as much money then.

Dont know, actually. The one that I got off you was already apart so they inspected that first and are happy with it. Will ask when I speak to him next. Not too fussed, actually. So long as it runs well and makes good powaaar then I'm happy.

Probably not much if at all. Me thinks the blue one will be able to be sold
basically whenever I like. It all depends how expensive the engine is though. As I've said, could be 4k could be 7k. Me thinks all I will have to save for is tyres and rego and then I'm good to go.

Needs moar wiper motor cleanliness. I also might rip the loom out just for the sake of it so I can put it back in.
