Got the majority of my gaskets for the G60 lump today with only a few waterway ones to get now

DESPERATELY trying to hunt down a G60 Mk1 engine bracket so next month i can start thinking on dropping the engine in after buying a VR6 clutch

Got a new mount from Vagabonds on the way!

Vr6 Clutch ordered to pick up this weekend

Bugpack polybush kit ordered (by the missus)

So touch wood the engine and box will be on the mounts next weekend

I've mounted up the OLD rad just to see how much room i'm looking at to fit the boost pipes under the battery tray

The look of that bundle of wires kinda scares me But i'm debating wether to run megasquirt or not. MV developments is only up the road from me really so i might give them a call for some advice on the wiring and what not
