My New 2.0L 340, Running!!!! UPDATE WARNING 56K
Right guys i havent been posting for a while, as i have been having a mad few months TBH. But i have been plowing on with the 340. I was offered a williams engine for a good price before christmas so have been slowly but surely building and modifying that.
The pictures show how i bought it in components. Engine now has a port matched head and a williams tubular manifold, (not in pics) I have custom made the front cover to show the pulleys, which are soon to be adjustables.
The rocker cover has also been polished by myself. (I may offer this as a service in the offers section if anyone is interested?)
Anyways enjoy the pics.

Ports
Old cover
New Cover
Manifold still to be modded.

I was under the impression that the F7R engine had the starter on the wrong side? I'm far from being an expert on the 1.7 family of engines, though!
Great work...that that polished cam cover looks amazing. I'm not often impressed by those (usually due to the design of the cover), but that looks excellent.
Is this for your grey car?
cheers

It's still very much floating around.
Do you have a definitive list of which engines do and don't fit? All F7xs, for example? I'd like to compile an article.
cheers
