Been bored to 1293cc, new pistons to suit, SW5 cam (torquey), lightened rods (Arrow)and crank (DKE), reubilt the gearbox, skimmed and ported the head, blueprinted oil pump, duplex timing chain, pimp anodised rocker cover and all new pumps, bearings and seals.

I didn't put my Arrow flywheel on in the end, purely because I couldnt afford to convert everything to a pre-verto clutch :( So the flywheel is for sale if anyone's interested.

Pretty much mate. Get it all working upto scratch then actually sell it.
