Tasty engine, it may get a little hot with the 35 cam, hope you are you also planning on putting a remote oil cooler in the van, I would also reccomend a oil breather system off your rocker covers into an oil catch can so that you ease the compression, I have a surplus one all mounted on a stainless steel backing plate c/w hoses and breathers if your interested

The guy just mailed me back saying this.......
yes that all makes sense...the engine is set up for full flow so a cooler can be added easily this was my plan all along but I never drove in hot weather so I didnt install one. Also the breather he talked about can be added easily...I did vent the valve covers already by drilling holes in the top where the breather tubes would mount.

We are on the same page.........(This guy and myself I mean!!!) I have some of the parts you will need, are you coming to the Ripley show this Sunday, if you are I can explain what you will need to do and what it entails, are you buying the engine seperately to fit in your new van?
If you are it needs to be thought through so that it runs as designed.
Or give me a call if you want to discuss, 07802 585550, Derek.

Doh.........Monday.....the parts I have will not be mega bucks, I just need to check out what I actually paid for them, the rest of the stuff is in the SSP catalogue or you can buy from aeroquip or similair, I will show you on Monday what needs to be done, the people putting your engine in should be able to sort it out.

The seller is just waiting for the haulage company to pick it up. He's had to higher it to it's max amount so it can be shipped. Funny thing is... when it's at it's ride height like when I saw it, it's lower than my DC!!!!!!
