thanks guys for that!!!!!!!! and yellorolla you will be hearing from me soon (hope you dont mind but from what i can read you seem to be 'The One' when it comes to this motor)...
just furher to that iv been looking all over the world, iv covered every mm of it and cannot find a manual for the motor... please Please PLEASE help me!!!!!! if you got a book ill but it, if you dont want to part with it ill pay you for photocopying it ( i do not not endorse plagerism or copyright but i am blind  )... but if all else fails all i really want are all the tightening torques or the torques for what i want to do... at the moment all the motors iv built have been tightened by feel and although that does me well i dont want to build my baby on guess work...
iv currently got a 3T in it and i built that all by feel and she does me awsome, iv thrashed it so much that the cylinder walls are probably looking like eggs by now (i know as she is blowing smoke after 3500-4000revs and struggles to get paast 5500revs now but thats 2 years of trashing with a year of having a backyard stock diff locked (aaahhhh they were the days, damn rego!!!!!! lucky i had another diff but the locker is still in the garage  )) she used to hit 6500-700 without fail before screaming of pain but not anymore 
TurboRA28 your comments are good, i got a guy that will bore, hone, and acid wash the block for bout $100-150 and head work for bot the same if i want bigger valves done... guys with ECU what are yor preferences? microtech, haltech... i hear microtech are easy and simple while haltechs are c**ts to tune but hals are better... im more of a electrical wiring and mechanic person than ECU know how person... finally i wanna go for 2.5" mandrel bend cause im not sure if the 3" would fit and i dont want to be hearing exhaust scrapes all day...
finally i want to be as much of a tight ass as possible but am willing to spend the big bucks for parts, ie, im the freak that will drive his car illegally to the exhaust place to save on towing (once again i do not endorse illegal activity, you do that at your own risk as i do)
