Nice work mate!
Have been tossing up between the 1UZ or a LS2/3? Handy to see all the work involved in puttin one in. Will be awesome when it's done.
Mind if I ask how much you reckon the whole conversion cost?

The build looks awesome so far. Love the kitchen in your shed. Are you in Victoria or something?

Lovely work sprog!! With all your fabrication work, you could have just built the car and motor from scratch.

Any update by the way? Keen to see this bad boy with some colour.

They are Speedhut 4" gauges. You can customise them to different colours etc. With the tacho you can get 3 LEDS put in and have them labelled too.
