So got the new iron, ported it and assembled the engine with the semi pp housing, and the coolant system did not hold pressure. So i dissassembled it and found out that both the semi pp housings had leaks thru the filler used around the p ports, so i will nee to repair those before they can be used.

I decided to use the old T2 housings and just get the engine buildt and in the car, and then i can add the Semi pp housings on the next rebuild instead.
Assembled the engine with the stock housings and the cooling system not held pressure.
Shortblock nearly done:

Started on the ITB setup, made a flange from 12mm mild steel. Still needs some more work to the ports and cleaning up around the flange, but that can be done after the runners are made and welded on.
