Some of you guys will know of my last 2 FD's for those that don't here is a bit of history!

First FD ended up looking like the pic below after 5 years of hard graft and went from 100% stock to 20B N/A side port, dry sumped full track car.

Second one was only a short term build and was mostly modded before I bought it but it wasn't what you would call nicely built!

This takes me to the current project, to build a 20B N/A side port engine again but wet sump and as a street car not a track car . . . well my old man can't have all the fun in his V8 MGB!
