    seen this a wee while ago
    looks cool
    but a bit of a trek

    maybe someone wants to tie it in with a holiday
    ?

    a few pics showing one being fitted

    errm, that engine is like mine in so much as he's plonked a head onto a GTT block. It doesn't show much in the pics, but what he shows is about 5% of getting it running. Maybe there is stuff inside the engine, but he doesn't mention it.

    Looks a bit rough, like a length of 50mm section with a bit of flat bar welded on top, nice
