A bit of an update - it's in, but needs all the little bits doing. Bellhousing bolts, radiator, hoses, cables etc.
Turned out the carbs were showing signs of leaks so they're having a new gasket se ... |

| I can't say exactly what problems they had, but it was from experience of running a comp safari 90. I guess it was from the sort if use that one of those vehicles gets. |

Still going - the old engine is now being stripped of the bits required to be put onto the new one.
Found that the heads are for an injection engine - not a surprise for the year as the 90 was the ... |

I'm nearly finished on my quest to do exactly the same as you.
I've got a 1988 90 V8 CSW - when purchased the engine was completely stock and quite tired.
If yours is on 80k miles I'd suggest yo ... |

And again, more progress 
As mentioned before, the chap who's doing it is fitting it in between other work.
The old one is now out, and has a leaky RMS as well as broken mount/s

Took a long look at lift and duration of the various 'high torque' cams and decided on a standard one. The lift was only a fraction down, but the duration was better than most.
