Gearbox came late monday evening. Fitted the gearbox that night.

So escort engine with a focus gearbox. Made new gearbox mounts to the frame as they were different. Engine and gearbox supported by their own brackets now.

Not yet, Can boost to about 14psi and turn the pump up too.

Also on the list is a bigger intercooler facing towards the front.
