Well spotted! The engines were originally de rated to 90hp from new. I am replacing the ecu’s to take them back to 150hp. Just haven’t quite got round to putting both new decals on!

Are you changing the gearbox ratio’s to the 1.9’s as well ?
I’m 99% sure they’re different ratio’s as i’ve done a few HP swaps for people and myself in the past and they like to run higher ratio gearbox’s between the lower HP & higher Hp models on the same platform

No gearbox changes done. One was off for a shift repair at the time!

The nightmare of doing the flowcoat is now a distant memory.....nice job.
What's your stance on doing a job like this...the cost and effort versus buying new?
I rebuilt my 5m and not nearly as big a job as yours yet I always knew that for the price i could buy a rib ready to go....but I have to say there is something nice about saving something that most would just scrap...and pride that comes with reaching the end.
Well done....and enjoy.

She looks great - can't wait to see her in the flesh for the Kings Coronation weekend, if not before.
Good job, well done.
Fingers crossed you'll keep her a bit longer then the last rebuild........................
