    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    Your not going to go out a buy a new distributor that all you need to do is stick it in and bolt it down. You still need to set it up for your engine. Odds are that you would be better off looking...

    Nice. And you are able to drive and enjoy it today. Those who are looking for an unfinished, forgotten about kit and thinking they can build one for pennies should definitely look at this thread.

    .... and now you know why the manufacturers are going to lighter oil. Less power used to turn the oil pump means better fuel mileage. Other reasons too, but this is one of them.
