Hi Brad,
How long till its on the road? Interested in any performance specs you can gather ... economy, 0-100, 0-100 with a load - no I'm not really
interested in drag racing one, its just an easy measure of power
When you have some pics of the radiator solution I would love to see em.
My boat is looking more an more like a subbie engine every time I walk past it :thumb
cheers

I have a Kombi with an EJ22 fitted.The Manx had a fresh 1916 Pobjoy injected engine in it.The Kombi went better and used less fuel...and was a lot
cheaper,hence the Manx will now have an EJ22.......:kiss

Brad, what are you using to support the engine from underneath it?
Or are you just holding it using the bellhousing like subaru boxer is?
