I cant be assed to read it all but sounds good!

Wats your reasoning for dry sumping? Are you dropping the engine lower or the whole car itself?

No oil surge with a dry sump Dave, and the engine gets better oil distribution at high revs

sadly i didnt think to take any pics, i will do soon!

another update, recieved a picture message of my pistons, man they look awesome! also ordered my new rods, they are used on engines that rev to 10,500rpm and have never snapped, so i should be ok pushing to 11,000rpm! haha! should sound awesome! i have also sourced some springs and valves for the head that can handle the revs!

Pics of pistons will be up tomorrow when they arrive on my desk at work

matt dont say things like this!

i think the bottom end will be fine! expencive crank, dry sump, expencive rods cost me an arm and a leg and i got a good deal, the pistons are pretty expencive slipper ones too! if it throws a rod i will be smashing the car to bits with the remains of the crank, thats a promise, i will also film this and sell it on ebay!

we are all excited about this build, its getting there now! should see some good power from it!
