I'd edit out the picture with the naughty word on top of the shiny new piston :O
What's the point of timing the cams up on a dummy block? Unless the block the head is destined for has identical dimensions (and by the look of it it may well have been decked) then the timing will need to be done all over again.

Just read this entire thread - that's the most impressive build I've ever seen. Nice one
Some seriously scary moments in that vid 1:24ish - well held
On a side note - lovely looking Ferrari parked outside your house too in some of the previous pics.

I'm not going to "LOLROBBIEG" you just yet, but I am going to try and explain:
A 7 with a massive engine up front will unsettle the natural balance of the car. I suspect it is way away from the positive 50:50 weight distribution. Add to that that with more speed comes the need to get rid of it, so, beefier, heavier brakes are required to scrub off that speed. Enter a corner fast in this, and the back end will go horribly light resulting on you oversteering in, understeer during (as the anchor engine balances back) and then oversteering on the way out as you try and apply power down.
Take a normal 7 with a s2000 lump, or ecotec or similar. Still pushing 250-300bhp. It's far more balanced in the corner where you can drive around the corner on the throttle, smoothly, with perhaps a little chirp of the rear end on the way out.
I suspect on most UK tracks, the latter would be the more fun to drive and lap times would be marginally different
