We've been waiting for your 6.5 litre block forever! Is it even coming?
The block has been done for many months! The heads have now been ported and all components sourced. Just a question now of paying for it Reason for new block for both Mikey and I is so that the engine can be built offline and you don't give up your car for several months! The old blocks are taken back by BR on an exchange basis... No coffee tables for you

Surely soon-to-be-mrs-Yeti will understand if the wedding is delayed for you to have a new engine?

I wouldn't want a V8 coffee table either, you wouldn't be able to fit anything useful on that tiny area
Chatting to "Dr" Mike last night Bruce will be starting to lay hands on in the next few weeks
The boys at BR are all getting rather excited having seem various components for Johnny 550 go on to 4.7's with great results
The sum of the parts and increased capacity is going to create a monster

Exciting times, it's going to be an amazing car The boys at BR are all getting rather excited having seem various components for Johnny 550 go on to 4.7's with great results

Purdey is booked in with BR on our return from the Geneva trip. 5 ltr cylinder heads , dual induction system and twin throttle bodies being the order of the day. Bamford Mikes aim is 520 + BHP. Johnny 550 will be a bit of a monster with an additional 30 odd BHP. I hope my project will be completed in time for the Wales bash!
