lightweight steel flywheel is nice for a relitivly small ?250ish?

The head has already had a light skim before it was rebuilt last time with a new gasket, and it's not been run since... so hopefully that will be ok.

Where's the bast place to get a flywheel?

Go the whole hog Ross ;-) its worth it.... Trust me!
I see you've discovered my post on Rovertech then I'll not be building the fancy engine until the rest of the car is set up using the other standard T series... but there's no harm in doing the prep work now.

Seems my 300bhp estimate might be a bit low if everything goes to plan
