Sounds likes fun! Loads more interesting the my job. Im a claims advisor for Pru motor claims.
It's still got the kit on it, just! Once all the engine stuff is sorted and the interior is done im gonna put a SRi bumper back on the front and probably GSi skirts. Since its been key'd and stone chipped to **** its gonna go rattle can black.
The engine thats going in is indeed another XE. Ported and gas flowed head, bronze valve guides, 34mm inlet valves, 30mm exhuast valves, new lifters, seats, springs etc, Courtney cams, Turbosport verneir pulleys, Rebuilt bottom end, Mahle pistons, Steel rods, ARP 2000 rod bolts, alloy crank pulley, Sard FPR, Ashely 4-2-1 manifold all wrapped up, Powerflow 2.25 exhaust. Got all new gaskets, and bolts etc to put on, new oil filter and that sort of stuff. So shoul dbe pretty much new. Still gonna be on the standard intake and management. TB's and megasquirt will come later.
