Its the APS kit, the manifolds that are used on the engine dyno are different, as they used a set of their adapted ones to fit the test bed.

Beauty of it is, that the engine is all run in and tuned ready for re-installation into the car. Which should be ready for my collection on Thursday!
Cant wait.

Great shots...your shop in the UK is one of the few that does that preliminary break-in and tuning on the engine dyno. Very nice.

Why does one side look like it's closed deck, and the other looks open? Compare pics 2 & 5 in post 5.

Thanks.

In any case, looks very nice. Congrats!

EDIT - I'm an idiot. I just realised that's the HG. Stupid me.

One side had a gasket installed, and the other side did not.

I eventually caught that... just got confused for a second. I guess I am a little slow today.

That engine looks sweet. Definitely looks like the shop putting it together for you know what they are doing.

Sharif: I think Caesar does more work in that shop then you do.
LOL, j/k of course. Very well run business as everyone has said.

Caesar (my Rott) plays a vital role as an employee of FP. He licks envelopes, opens boxes, and chews the shoes of customers that do not pay us on time...haha!!!
