The top pully for the engine belt needs to be changed to one with the ribs because it runs on the inside of the belt , (flat pulley is designed to run on the outside of the belt on the flat side)

Good to see you breathing a bit of new technology into a classic car. Please don't forget that this car in standard form, wasn't bult to cope with this engine power, so make sure you upgrade the brakes, steering and suspension. Good luck.

Epic episode, nothing like an engine first firing up when you done some work on it like this. So nice to see. Mara's excitement is infectious. Looking forward to the next phase of the Cortina. I see you have a box trailer to transport it. 🙂

I like the ecu wiring package, it’s the one thing that grips me with frustration when trying to swop engines in 💖
