I collected the engine before the weekend and built up the ancillaries. I am waiting on a replacement oil cooler (the old one still had debris in it - not worth risking the engine)

I have now found a really local tuner who is able to get it on a rolling road and map the Megasquirt, unfortunately there is a waiting list so likely to miss Boxengasse / Megaphonics however hoping it's first outing will be Classic's At The Club House (CATCH) on 19th June.

Good progress, LS2 coil-near-plugs installed, Zetec trigger sensor. Engine and box back in the car. It spins over and oil pressure light goes out quickly. Just waiting for injectors to be cleaned and then will be set up on rolling road. Just in time for summer!
