its a shame you've changed your mind about the conversion... cos you can run the stock 1159 rear axle no probs, i've done it before with no probs..that way you only making engine changes..or if you use the xmember from a hc, only engine and front suspension changes... which wont take you over the dvla points issue .... then, when you do swap the axle you're only making small changes to the car again... just a thought :)

It's a good idea but i've just decided it's cheaper and easier for me to just put the car back on the road as an ohv. I'd be better off putting my money in to my firenza and just have the pleasure of returning the hb to the road :D If i still want a ohc powered hb after all that then i'll save up and wait for a GT to come up....
