I know the car well and I'm literally 800 yards from where you brought it. Lol

That's some transformation you have planned for it. Why didn't you just plan for a Gto 3?

I would imagine after the upgrade you would be upto a Gto3 price.

Good project though. The best bit is that you can upgrade the 3ltr over time while still enjoying driving the car with the 2.5 lump.

You may want to consider changing the ECU again. You have a Haltech middle range I think, which only runs in semi sequential and has limited inputs/outputs. Although it might have an E11 which does do fully sequential. Can't remember.
It will (if not already done) need to be moved inside the car as water can get in them.
