I watched some program on top fuel dragsters in the states where they strip down the engines in the pits between runs, I think they have about an hour or 90 minutes. Is that what you're like as well
90 mins is pushing it.Taken me 2 days to strip it down and remove from the car. I have had lots of brews and contemplation breaks though. Lots to decide

Update.
The block and crank are with Roland at ACR near Chester.
A new liner to be fitted. A rebore to 96mm. Offset grind the crank to 86.3mm. Chevy rods and a nice set of custom forged pistons.
I am going to fit a new M248 cam and solid lifters too.
Onwards and upwards
Serious Derek a 248 with that build spec and your heads will be awesome I am over the moon with the 238 in my build its superb over 3k but pulls glitch free from idle I have no regrets The block and crank are with Roland at ACR near Chester.

crikey, only just seen this bloke. Hope this will be the last build.
The last Rover bottom end for a while I hope. Top end might get roller rockers at some point. Maybe something interesting induction wise. Will be made up if I can run regular 11's NA and push towards 9's on gas. May need a better gearbox. Just had the T5 rebuilt and improved by John Reid again so it should last a while.
