Got the block in sort of the right place today... missing the engine mount brackets though.
Spins free and cylinder walls aren't scored so might be OK

Mostly dismantled the head, apart from the valves... Everything in there looks OK, mostly the mating surface that is shit

Looking good I must say!
Is this going to be a slightly longer version of your SJ?
Is the rear going to be done out like a limousine, I know you like your comforts!

Yeah its going to be a slightly longer and slightly turbocharged version of mine
Will probably get a 1.6 16v eventually!
Wheelbase is 93.5" I think? Samurai is 80"
