update: getting it done slowly when i get time to work on her! really wish i was doing this inside! rad and intercooler in and plumbed up-just about!, not totally secured yet.
lots of joining pipes n its all a very tight fit, next up finish the fuel lines and go for a start up! few pics...( notice the ends of the intercooler iv cut back an inch ish and then reground a lip for a good fit - gains that lil more room-soo many jobs like that on this build.) also iv fitted the top part of the thermostat from my series engine so water exits upwards so doesn't get in the way of air inlet.
Thanks for reading!

disco starter motor has solenoid on it so im gonna use that one, u could by-pass it and use the existing series 1 if u wanted. yeh lots of bits to get your head around but wiring isnt one of them! just fuel cut off and starter motor! love it!

most use the disco solenoid on the starter, just extend the red and white trigger wire down to it.

The stop solenoid just use the white feed that used to go to the Coil.

everything is now finished wid engine change! drives well and will plod along happily being as economic as possible, but then u can give it some gas and it can shift! is a great feeling accelerating like that in a series!
gearbox-wise it feels fine and i think driven respectably will be ok! 'but' if it does go and i decide to go for a different box whats the best alternative then? an R380?
couple pics showing the lowest point of exhaust(all made from disco bits!) is higher than x-member and behind shackles so is fine like that,
and iv used a 300tdi airbox and fitted the rocker breather into it!

i see you've gone for a slightly less subtle approach for the exhaust than i did :)

yeah i decided its wat i wanted to do- fiddly making it tho! it just about has room to follow the same route as a 2.25 system, snazzy ending tho!
many thanks for answering some of my many questions along the way. :lol:
