A little update here..

New parts have arrived  

Grinding and measuring the piston rings

And some mounting of the.. 

The ARP studs on its place

The next step with the engine is porting the head,16 new valve positioners(?),grinding the valves if they are in good condition,grinding the valve seats in 3 different steps(degrees)..

Tomorrow I`m going to glass blast the oil pan an make a hole for the return,and weld a plunger into it..I`m going to use a oilfilter house from a 83 GTI engine,cause of the external cooling..

And the car as it stands for now..

Here`s the pic of the plug.

Todays "work"..

Tried a manifold from a GT28Rs today,it seems like there is good enough space..

But I think I will make the manifold a bit lower and move it backwards because I want to have the exhaust output at the right side of the car..
