gasser59 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Incredible craftsmanship and fabrication. This not that far from building the actual car in 1:1 just takes up less garage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike morelli Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I am diggin' this project. IÂ do have a question. Is it just me, or is the timing cover placed way up too high in this photo? It looks like the position would put the camshaft/fuel pump right into the intake manifold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me, or is the timing cover placed way up too high in this photo? It looks like the position would put the camshaft/fuel pump right into the intake manifold. Yes,.......it`s just the way I mocked-ed it up by accident.......it will be moved into the correct position .......Mark Johnson resin engines have pins to connect engine parts together .......and I put the timing cover in the wrong hole.......thanks Edited September 17, 2017 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
