Im aiming for the 11th on May to get the car back on the road, It was initially for a Cortina Show at Billing, bit Ive since found there is a show on at Battlesbridge as weel that weekend and there is the RWYB at the Weald as well, what to do??????, If I take it to the weald I will want to race a fesh engine, and Im not too keen on that idea, Battlesbridge is probably too near the Weald so I may be tempted to have a trip over to the racing, , Im thinking Billing, , its a good long run and will give me a chance to get some miles on the engine, anywhere else to go that weekend????

Build the engine, run it in on an engine dyno and set it up install it in the car Problem solved

My new engine only did 10 miles after the initial tune up and I took it to the Pod for a day out with great results on a low shot of gas.
Two weeks later it was back on track and started nipping the 11's with a bit more gas.
I'm out on Monday at the Pod for the last real tuning day before I give it the beans at the weald on the 11th. I cant not go to the Weald as I have a rematch to run with a 55 Zephyr with a Ford 502 in it. Last year he beat me by 1.7 seconds, but I'm going to be able to read his boot badge across the line this time mate.
