Sounds good, being divorced from the process last time caused a lot of the issues the first time IMO, learning with experienced people should ensure a better outcome.

Pull it all apart and put it back together with everything in one hit, do it once and do it right... not point pulling it again in the future

It is also good to see that negative feeback and downers have not ruined this for you.

Very keen to see the outcome and I hope it is back on the road and the track soon!

I you want to do it right and on the cheap, by a 207 short block, use your heads(get them faced and install a set of cams of you like), 12mm oil pump. Put the junker together and enjoy limiter lover and endless fun

Endless fun maybe a little over exuberant. You will need a 6 speed as your 5 speed will proberbly turn its self inside out

Not from pwrx and bits and good parts from other years will be used in it I'm pretty sure , I'll find out for sure when I talk to the guys again



That is the plan








Also managed to find this photo of my car......the photo was taken just before the engine went pop at the motorplex.

EJ205 will not work easily with your wiring loom (unless you use your existing heads and wiring harness) Then there are issues with compression ratio.
I hope these awesome people you speak of know what they are getting into?

unless its a short block swap, and you're DIY its ok
but i dont' see point of swapping a 205 short block
why not go 207 short block, do it once, do it right?
unless you've got a money tree growing, you'll find that you'll be constant swapping bits and parts for the next few years, with loans on a depreciating asset
yes, you get to learn stuff, but most of things you're learning now can be learnt in one go and through other's experience and subsequent advise
don't take the -ve talk as a motivation to go against the grain, because at the end of the day you are the one that will suffer, financially and possibly emotionally. its a car at the end of the day
