No, I sold my polished rebuilt M90 that I started into the project with. Believe it or not The Guy that was polishing it just finished up with it about 3 weeks ago. In the year I waited for it I found the ported unit so I had no use for the other one. I do wish mine was polished, I have located a new polishing guy that is much quicker and may do that this winter.

Just had reread of your install and what you have gone through to get up and running. Quality
I start on my swap in three weeks, have a list of everything needed to do it and will hopefully only take a couple of days. My only issue may be pulley clearance, hope it will clear, and as I have said before in other threads with the work being done with F/I on the Toyota V8 now , I am feeling very confident that everything will go well.
With people like yourself, Scott and a few others in the U.S, and Neil in Aus. And without Andrew at Richwood we wouldn't have products to do this to our cars. Unless you can make your own manifolds, of which there a couple out there. Then there is Ryan and couple others going the turbo route, so long live the 1UZ
I have been waitng so long now the next three weeks will be like mini hell.
Any way enough ranting, and well done again.

Hey Scott, i'm watching your progress very closely...this and the turbo projects have me in total awe and i can't wait to join the ranks! anyway, how are you going to make the 6 speed manual work and is the subframe a direct bolt on?
