330HP Cossie Engine ! Guess Who's :)

[Clint]

Ok I thought it was about time I got my hands dirty :)

Here are some pics of 2Quick4U's 330HP engine rebuild for his 3 Door Cossie. The engine had been renewed before; the block was a service unit from Cosworth, this was bored to 90.325mm and plateu honed to accept the +0.5mm Mahle pistons, the pistons were machined to a 7.8:1 profile and fitted to a set of resized and balenced rods. The crank was ground to its first undersize and 'A' meterial bearings used. An new uprated oil pump was fitted.
I always 'dummy build' my engine first to check all clearences, that way there will be no suprises and I can get everything machined and finished to my exact specification.

Enjoy :)

Clint i think you should do a "How to" series of things (like the S2 brake upgrade one), with hints n tips for those of us who dont know one end of a spanner from another.

Im sooooo Jealous:( I really miss my 3 door.

[duncan]

now that engine would look so much nicer sitting in a black mk1 engine bay..........http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif lol
but with a rotorex supercharger instead of the turbo.....

[2quick4u]

I am thinking about putting one in my Yellow Mk2 when I get round to restoring it.

But I like my MK1 as it is. (would maybe add a GP1 head, cam and carbs if I could get originals)

[Clint]

[Clint]

been in any Internet cafes lately Mark lol, or was a laptop part of the luggauge (sp).
How is it?

[2quick4u]

my laptop, always m8.

Although USA is a real technology backwater when it comes to getting free access, there are a few though but they run silly ad bars and stuff.

It's lovely out here, about 80 degrees yesterday, was in the pool till 11:30pm.

[2quick4u]

Been out furniture shopping today, going to look at some more places to live soon, you will have to come out sometime with us and have a look.

How's my head coming on?

[2quick4u]

Bit of a late update, engine in place, nearly run in and getting a fettle from Clint at BSW's workshop.
