I need to have a look at it but it sounds promising. I have bought drum rear uprights for my car and planned to fit disc at the front what do people think about rear drums and front discs for a 2.2 will it be ok? And what about the engine ? thanks for all the recent help and posts with regard to pinto engines it has all been very helpful.

Its either the bargain of the century, 2.2's arn't cheap to build so you've either got £2000s worth of engine or he's a Bulls**ter
If its a big valve head you can't put unleaded valve seats in unfortunatly
