Phil,

Nice progress!

Once you have the motor built, will you take it to a shop and have it run in and tested on a dyno, or start it for the first time in the car?

I will dyno engine after. going to run a Holley for a year then I want to go to the Weber set. I will dyno and dial it in once the Weber are in.

Ok then , not much has happened work wise. Did install crank and gapped rings for pistons... Should install them next week. I have been cleaning up wire harness and all plumbing . Making sure no chaffing will occur . Transmission..... None yet. Cobra automotive has been trying to hunt down one for them to re-build, David Kee has no casting ready yet, so no Toploader for me at this time... It looks like I'm going to go with the TKO 600 from Lykins Motorsport with the Sure shift upgrade.

Nice to have plenty of help. Looks like you could be up and running before too much longer.

I wish I was that far down the track with mine!
A big milestone with engine and trans. installed. Keep us posted.

Cheers,

Looks like the motor install went well, another step closer to getting the car going. Keep up the good work!

It was good to have a group to help that day. I was hoping to be closer to completion but a back injury at work slowed my progess...

So I like to find out if any of you have used ERA Clutch Slave Cylinder they provide. I have the Quicktime Bellhousing RM-6065 and the Mcleod Clutch Fork SBF MCL 16934... The cylinder I recieved when the car was shipped was for a Lakewood unit. Going to call ERA and see if the have a mounting bracket for the Quicktime.
