bottom end is currently at machining as the pistons i have spec'd are oversized, then my friend is building it up for me.

thats a good idea on mounting the intercooler.

where did you get the cooler from? and how much? if you don't mind you can PM me the details.
 
Sounds like your doing the right thing mate :nice: make sure the machine shop get you the right honing finish on those cylinder walls.

Never seen a Magnus IM! Looks tasty though, any reason you didn't go for an Edelbrock?
