I have enough to get it running as is but i have to get the gear drive section for the cams checked and crack tested as if one of htese fails the engine is toast :(

I figure there is still about $1200 to spend on crack testing, heat treating and a bit of fabrication. I do not intend to run it dry sumped and will use a dissy and carbs rather than the injection I think. It all depends on the parts shape up. Les Collins did the head 2 years ago so it should be fine as is. I need to flow bench it and do a bit of specification verification via materials testing to ensure all is up to scratch.

Assuming all is well with the parts, I think it would be best to use it for occasional road use and some sprints (with a reduced rev limit) than use it for race only use.

The other TOMEI LZ14 engine skeleton only suited the L14 - L18 blocks. I though of trying to get italso as spares but the wallet is stuffed for a long while I think.
This setup can be used on L20B or Z22 blocks as it came with a set of the taller cam gear drive train plates. I also have three sets of drive plates suitable for the shorter L14 - L18 blocks as well. This gives me plenty of options.

I have a works L20B block with siamesed bores that had Z22 bore cores fitted when it was cast. That would make a good stiff 2 litre or even 2 litre turbo block. I will just have to check out all the options and see which is best for the parts I have.

At least I will have plenty of time to make up my mind while the pocket recovers
