Roush does not build 527's. Their biggest is 511, I think. Also, they use a cast crank, actually they call it "something" iron. I spoke with them before going to Keith Craft. I had to have the 527.....

The intake and Carb have arrived.
Yes, i know this is not really an update, but i have nothing to work on until the other parts show up. Sigh! My box of Kirkham goodies should be here on Wednesday and then i can start making some good progress again.



Quickfuel Carburetor. It appears that everybody likes this brand, but this is my first time to use one.

Some small progress. I find out tomorrow if the 3rd piston order will be correct. I sure hope so as the roller will most likely be more or less finished in the next week.

Special thanks to the Kirkhams for the scratch and dent sale-that saved me a bundle! I owe you guys more Scones!

The carpet smelled funky like cat urine, so it is now gone and will be replaced with some nice new fresh wool carpet from Kirkham



New Pedal Assembly






Removed the custom plate that was put in place to hold the steering shaft.





Throttle pedal assembly. One problem though, the holes on the bracket coming off the frame do not line up with the holes in the throttle pedal assembly box. Simple fix is i drill the holes a little bigger. However, i have one question; should there be spacers between the frame rail and the box to fill the void?

Thanks for the scones, very addicting. yes you do need spacers between the frame and the foot box. great job on the build i wanted one of those cars. When the movie came out a friend of the shop took us to see the movie and watch the other car get smashed. I had mixed feelings on one hand oooh they smashed the car but the other yaaa the car is in Ironman. I think you will have fun with it when your done!

Glad you all liked the scones! I love those things, but only allow myself to order them once a year.

Thanks David! Just let me know what i owe!!!

Has anyone told you yet that you have the braided lines to the fluid reservoirs upside down?
The 90 degree angle goes on the master cylinder end. This keeps them away from the headers. My car also has a plate between the master cylinders and the headers.

Thanks for the picture and response!
I was not aware that i had them facing the incorrect way. I will reverse them and bleed the brakes again this evening.
