Well it started successfully! Thank you to Phil for his extraordinary effort  ...and Fehlbie as assistant, it is your car next. Thanks MK2, Timmeh and Simo... Ty cheeRS! The Vernier pulleys will be fitted upon dynoing. The engine was already correctly timed and I thought I'd just leave it that way until the engine is run-in and we start to play with cam timing.

...Yes it will be engineered. I have a 8/3/4 Borg Warner 4.11:1 with limo and disc brakes. I see a ratio change on the horizon though.

You are more than welcome Mark.
My SMC has a serial number that ends in A4, so it has the high current driver. Yippee...[:p][:p]
Yeah I will have to get my car running sooner rather than later.
