Good old ford scene tax!

I love sierras and a great conversion seeing as YB’s are stupid money nowadays

This bit took three days of pissing about to get it to fit right :lol:

Must have had the engine in and out at least ten times making adjustments here and there.

LS would have been the sensible and cheaper choice!

I turned that feature on, it sent out 250 emails and then the email account got locked for sending too many :lol: Currently on hold with support to get it ressurected and to find out the limit that I broke

It's trying my patience, the Jag diff keeps spewing oil out of the breather on the diff cover I made and I've been trying to fix it since January :(

Had it trailered to Emerald for mapping and only got to 1/3rd throttle mapping and it made a right mess ending the day!

After struggling with making headers for the last engine I cheated and had the whole system made by a lad local to me who is much better at this sort of thing, all I did was make the flanges to match my cylinder heads at work.
