Nice family project! I can't get my wife to even ride in one anymore let alone help me install an engine.

Lookin good Dean!

Back to our regularly scheduled program..........

Here is a picture of the engine in the bay. It is real tight but fits nicely if you know what I mean. It will look a lot better when the rest of the engine parts are added.

The engine isn't all the way down on the drivers side. I drilled the motor mount and put a bolt through it to control the torque movement of the engine but the bolt is hitting the frame. I will change it tommorrow. I guess we go to plan "B"

What a stunning build Dean, absolutely beautiful!

Can't wait to see it finished mate.

It's clear to see why the Hurricane was your kit of choice.

Cheers.

Steve.

Hey Dean,

It's been a couple weeks.........how about an update and pics? Is it making noise yet?

I stopped by Dean's Sunday evening for a quick inspection. Unfortunately, I only took pictures of the things that I needed for my build/information.

I've attached a picture of the front of the engine compartment. The Weber's are really impressive.

This car is really amazing. I am anxious to see it on a track

Hey Dean,

Nice pic Paul took.......where did you get the expansion tank and stainless water upper and lower lines at?

I know I haven't taken to many shots lately. You guys know how to cut braided lines and bolt on engine goodies. Thats why I haven't been taking pictures of all the little stuff. The finished product is going to look awesome. I'll post some engine shots soon.

Gary, the stainless tube is 1.65 inch from Jegs. The expansion tank had to be built for me from a regular vintage tank I bought on Ebay. It had to be turned and shortened. I had a local radiator shop do the work.
