Another small update

So, I've not had a great deal of time to work on the car, but some stuff has happened.

I finally found an exhaust manifold that will do what I want.

It's a universal type thing but it's pretty much designed for a Duratec, once I have my flange for it I'll get it modified to fit. For anyone that might be thinking of doing this type of conversion it's this one: http://www.kitspares.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_24&product_id=736&car=43

Engine mounts are also nearly done, the driver side mount is fitted and passenger side one just needs a plate welding on to the frame:

Next up is the fuel system. I was going to just run an external pump to keep things simple, but when I came to fit it and measure up a swirl pot I realised there was no space for it all. I was going to put it behind the diff, but the pipes would encroach into the suspension area.

So I've decided to run an in-tank pump, so I started modifying the tank for one:

I'll be running a Walbro 255, which is total overkill, but, I have one lying around so why not. I'll need to sort fuel pressure once it's setup but it will future proof things.

The last notable thing is I decided to spruce up the dash, so I ditched the stock one for this:

It's from Aerodynamix and looks awesome! It needs final trimming and holes cutting for dials. I still need to deiced what I'm doing with dials though...

I'm still hoping to have it done this year, but work is sapping a lot of my time just now so we'll see.
