Forgot to mention - They'll cost you a home brew or two...
This thread is why I love this site, so many offers of help and support. If only the VW crews I mingle with were just as similar id be less sinical in my opening post

Parts are on their way, new pistons and rings, bearings, stage 2 cam and full gasket kits including the distributor gasket kit.
Happy days (once the card stops smoking)
New bits , the postage was way quicker than expected. Im excited to get it all put back together
Finally got around to dropping off the new pistons at the re borers so they can size up the bores. So I should be picking up the block next week for a bit of reassemble.
Hello barnfindseries3ffr
Not sure if it has been mentioned previously... however, isn't there a difference in the positioning of the engine mounts if a four cylinder engine is being transplanted into an original six cylinder chassis? This may require the repositioning of the engine mounts or the making of an adaptor.
Also, do you have any photographs of your project that you could post up? By your username it looks like the vehicle could be a Series 3 FFR - there are a number of ex-military restorers here at AULRO. We are also like to admire other people's projects
Kind Regards

Ok, I have just picked up the block, time to slowly get working on it.
Yes I believe that I will have to fabric up some engine mounts for it, I'm having some issues locating a bell housing, the only one that came up was a nos in Italy of all places so engine mounts are a bit off in the distance for now.
