    that's got to be a good feeling, having the engine mounted in there

      it is, but there's an overwhelming amount of work left to do. I'm hoping I can get at least a test fire this summer. Once the datsun work is caught up, I'll be eyeballs deep in the rabbit.

      Currently working with an ECU tuner to get the limitations removed so the engine will run.

      @@ThrottleGrotto i am planning to sawp that engine into a ibiza 6k2 but i am still confused about using the ea211 or the older version ea111 as I didn’t find any info about how many hp that ea211 could handle on stock internals… the older version with aftermarket pistons could easly pass the 300hp mark.. appreciate your help if u have the info 🙏

    Excellent work that way I see it 😁 though now I have to go check that I put my stock motor mount in the right way 😕 I hope I did because I don't want to take that whole thing off and see if I can push out the mount.

      I don't have any to sell. I was able to make them fairly easily, but I am not ready to remove mine to make templates.
