WOW! Cheers for all the comments!
Today I finally got to something that seems like I've been waiting forever to do!
I finally managed to build the engine up (mostly).
To begin with I get the rest of the pistonsand rods in.
Next I built up the rest of the bottom end, oil pump, main seals etc...
Finally with the bottom end most the way there I get the head bolted on
Just realized I didn't take any picture of this stage, but next we got the cams and cam ladders sealed up and bolted in.
Unfortunately I left the dowl that the cam belt tensioner goes onto on the old J4 engine so I couldn't get the belt on and get it timed up but I did get the cam covers on, and trial fit the carbs and coil pack and I think it all looks pretty dam good!
Few more bits and bobs to sort and hopefully it shouldn't be too long until its in the car and running.
Cheers for looking, just glad to be finally making progress!

Not a hugely picturey update here, but my Supersprint exhaust manifold arrive today and I got my cambelt on and tensioned so my engine is now finally fully built up
That leaves my engine spec as follows:
TU5 JP4 engine converted for a Saxo
Gas flowed head with valve guides shaved
Newman Ph4 cams
Wossner high compression pistons
PEC forged rods
Race crank and big end bearings
Lightened by 3.7Kg and balanced crank
Lightened by 1.7Kg and balanced flywheel
Supersprint exhaust manifold
R1 carburettors
Custom modified and flowed Bogg brother inlet manifold
Now just need to drop it in the car

I'm using carbs rather than bodies as the plan with the build was a smooth clean engine bay so not needing so many wires is a real gift from that point of veiw. The engine was originally only stripped to give it a basic rebuild and perhaps some cams but these things never really go that way do they lol. So now I have a nice spec, hopfully fair power engine to fit into my smooth clean engine bay.
Can't wait

More updates again!
Sorry about all the pictures, I just can't stop taking pictures of my car!
I'm liking this, we're making good progress in the car again!
Not many pictures of us working on the car as it was a bit nerve racking working around the engine bay!
Firstly we bolting the dash as the engine loom is in the dash!
But anyways, the engine is now in and I think it looks amazing!
Also ot the wings bolted back on and leathered the car off
That is pretty much everything (bar the front end, rad etc) in the engine bay, wiring is all in and the carbs are piped up!
Hopefully more progress very soon.

I think my brother and I have both decided that neither ther Clio or Saxo are realisticly going to be ready for FCS which is a massive shame, but once they are on the road, we will endevour to get them to every show possible!
Cheers for looking
