NBD on the flange interference thing with the block. 10 minutes with an angle grinder to the offending parts of the flanges will fix the problem right up.
Yeah, it's not anything that can't be taken care of. One thing I am worried about is how close the top outer holes are to the ports. I've been contemplating making an adapter to move the pattern out farther on those holes.
PS, I pwn page niner.

Thank you! I hope this thread serves as a reminder of the fantastic resource that the other members of this board have been to me. I've gotten alot of help in technical matters, and alot of pep when I just got bored with it.
As far as being married....My fiance says she will probably kill me if I push the wedding date back .
Stay tuned, more exciting progress in a while. Nate

Yes, I probably never would have seen it if you hadn't put the link up. Thanks!
Believe it or not, you were the first person I thought of when I seen that auction. Glad you got it, keep posting the pics I want to see this project done. -Jason

The air temperature sensor always goes after the turbocharger, intercooler, and anything else that can potentially change the air temp entering the engine. The closer it is to the cylinder head, the better it's going to reflect the actual temperature of the air entering the combustion chamber.

Still working on resolving the cam issue (that is, they couldn't find any). Kit could be here this week. Been working on figuring out the driveline/trans setup.

I see you have been just working on the engine since 2004. WOW thats a long time.
Yeah, I actually started building the engine in mid 2003. Started school in '04, so that's a college student's budget for ya. My parents have kicked in alot of money, which I really appreaciate. If I had the money, this thing would be done much sooner, I have to let the bank account replenish every once and a while. I don't regard this project as being important enough to go into debt for.
I've been kicking around some transmission ideas, since I don't REALLY have one I can use with this engine, I have alot of options there. Right now it's either a heavily modded Getrag 282, modded G6 6-spd, or heavily modded 4t65E HD. I'm leaning heavily towards the manual transmissions. I made a calculator in Excel that gives me everything I want and plots it out on a graph, and I've been tossing around different ratios from stock transmissions, as well as some hybrid ratios.

Work progresses with getting all the DOHC stuff sorted out. The bad news: I'm missing the cams, snub cam and cam drive gears, as well as the front timing cover assembly. The good news is that all of the small stuff like valve retainers, chain guide, O-rings, fasteners, gaskets, etc is there, and in very good condition. The timing chain is still in cosmoline.
So, if anyone knows where to find those parts....POST IT!
Thanks. I had contacted Cosworth immediately following winning the auction. Right now I'm waiting for paperwork regarding that kit to be pulled from their archives.
Concerning KRP...I had been working with them pretty closely from about 2004-2006, and they are the ones I bought my crank from, as well as supplied me other small parts and information. I went to their shop in 2004, and they have some pretty cool stuff there. I DO need to get back in touch with them, however, for something unrelated to the DOHC head.
So the current standing is that I'm STILL looking for the front timing plates and cams. No other progress, I'll keep it posted!

I just ordered parts for a new PC from newegg that I'm going to put together, before this I was GOING to try to get ahold of a dry sump pump on eBay and an aluminum pan from KRP.
