Very nice job 
Well done! Looks like quite a tidy install.
that looks really good
ill bet you are really pleased
Amazingly clean, well done 
oooh, a much neater install than the pinto very nice!
Is that the fuel pipe to the webbers coming from the breather bottle?... have you managed to get it to run on fumes? 
Very nice - looks like it was meant to be there
Cheers guys, I'm pretty chuffed how its turned out,
wish it did run on the fumes from the breather
(you can just see the fuel filter at the carb)
have fitted a bike fuel pump, instead of the usual facet redtop jobby , works fine,
not been on the road yet, but I did jack up the rear wheels and get into 5th gear on my drive 
Neater than a nuns top draw!!
that xe looks well at home in there,quality job matey.
Bl@@dy hell it's a long way back in the bay for a car engine - extremely good job!!!!!
looks impressive. thinking of doing that very engine swap in my indy next winter.
Very tidy, let us know what you think when youve driven it compared to the pinto, ive only ever had a ride in a pinto and zx9, so i cant wait to try mine too.
Who's been a busy boy then!
Looks like you have really cracked on since i saw it last and nailed all those essential but fiddly jobs.
Cant wait for a ride in it mate, as usual a nice tidy job.
Very nice, but needs an air filter!
Very nice job!
A LONG way back!!
Should be very nicely balanced at that!
Let us know on the comparison to the pinto..............
(have a sneaking suspicion on the answer having driven pinto and XE sevens!!! )
