    Was it "GT Racing"???

    The 32V will not fit in the ZT without major bulkhead rebuild.

    I like it.

    The SHM Comp. block is twice that.

    But would still stay with the SHM/KB SC and Brians service..

    Default roush

    Yes it is a factory built engine from the usa, there is a data plate on it it is still boxed new unused the plate has a signature on it as well. comes with everything down to charge cooler pump header tank everything. They are also going to remap the ecu. work starts friday eve after work. I will have to run it in for a while but i will be sure to put it on a r/road soon after. Just see whee we are. I used to have a e55 so it has alot to live up to. But less than half the price so real good value. I also think these cars wil be classics real soon, How many are left out of the 883?? Do you guys ever meet up if so where is the next.

    Occasionally, but once you have the work carried out Im sure some of us Midlands based owners would love to see the outcome. Something local im sure could be arranged

    bloody buggering hell, pot's nearly up to that, and a new engine to boot- could remove the kit and fit it to my engine at my leisure. will watch with interest.

    edit, it will need rolling roading to remap, you should get a power figure- 400- 450 hp reasonable with 9psi of boost, and enough for the clutch and gearbox
