Left at the unfeasibly early time of 5:30 this morning to travel down to Southampton docks to pick up the V8. It seems she's survived the voyage from Japan in one piece despite only being tied to a pallet and covered with plastic sheeting and a cardboard box! :eek:

Arrived back this afternoon and stored her in the garage. Very tired but very pleased! :D

Will post some more photos in my Journal later on.

Don't mind you asking at all bud :) £500 for the engine, a low mileage '92 (41631 miles), £200 for shipping through YA Logistics and £150 for taxes and customs clearance through ITS Maritime. It should go ok, just fingers crossed there won't be too many unexpected problems along the way!;)

I was pleasantly suprised to see that (externally anyway) it's in such good condition mate. Johns engine was stripped further and cleaned up a bit more on Saturday. Also took measurements for the dry sump. :)

Nice.

:cool:

Mmmmmm, looking good buddy, good luck with everything. Can't wait to hear/see you and John arrive at a meet with those V8's burbling :D.
