right, i apologise if the wording seems a bit weird, i've copied it all from another forum...
Apr 15 2006:
Right, as i've just put a deposit down on a Duratec engine, i thought to start this thread off, over the next few months, i will hopefully document my progress.
This will be done as quickly as funds allow, i have an engine (4000 miles), gearbox, driveshafts, mounts, and a few other bits and piece on their way...
I have a new shed to build (pics will follow) for me to store my parts in and hopefully build up the engine.
Then will be to buy a stand-alone ECU, the OMEX 600 is looking most favourable at the moment, although i'm currently conducting some research into whether there are any alternatives.
once i have all the main parts, work will commence on stripping out the 1.25, the bay i am hoping to seam-weld, remove any rust that may be hidden and give it a fresh lick of paint.
The engine will run a standar inlet and t/b at first, then once its all fitted and i'm certain its running properly i will investing in a set of roller barrel t/b's...
anyway, enough of that...
this is the first step to make sure i'm comfortable and safe once the engine is in...
