Thanks for the offer Stuart. Realistically, it's only a day or two job. The last engine transplant I did (about 11 years ago on my '66 GTO) only took 8 hours from bonnet off to driving around, (still with the bonnet off) including time for lunch and coffee breaks, but there's a little more to this one, ie, air con, points to hei and LPG, but it'll be fine.
