PROGRESS!!!!!
Decided to start making a move on getting the engine out, so got the wheels out of the way, and was shocked out the good condition of the brakes 
quick pic of the engine bay prior to attack with spanners, sockets and wrenches
Got most of the big parts out of the way, it was a bastard as some of the bolts were rusted, so optimum muscle usage had to be used 
Got the manifold off, (which was also a mission) looking for a 3 branch manifold and inlet, so if anyone has or know's where one is going 
Couldn't be arsed to do anymore....
It's going to be a slow progress i think, but worth the wait.

Seen the new 7 port minisport crossflow heads?! They have the twin carb/tb pattern inlet manifold cast into the head (rather then bolted on) on the front so awesome for twin carb useage - Over £1000 though!
