Thanks Pete. It is a remote oil filter, it can be mounted almost anywhere. This is the final mounting location for both it and the alternator.

Water pump (with alternator bracket) and timing cover.

Oil pump. Well over 30 pieces, likely over 40. I know I machined 11 parts for it just today.

Thanks Harry and Dan!

The bellhousing and motor mounts have been bolted the block. The oil pump and distributor are installed. Pulleys for the belt that drives the water pump and alternator are installed. The dip stick and clutch slave cylinder are installed. Some hoses and plumbing have been started.

Thanks guys. Here's what I'll be bringing tonight...

I made the dust plate and bolted it onto the bellhousing.

The oil pan, starter and alternator have been installed.

Also attached to the oil pan was the remote oil filter, some of the oil lines have been hooked up.

I finished the header and collector, also added the mounting hardware and springs. The outermost two fasteners on the flange are studs with washers and bolts, the rest are just bolts with washers. I find it easier to install headers when they can be hung from a couple studs off the head. I also added a little dirt to the wrapping.

Well thanks Harry. Just to be clear, everything on this model is scratch-built. Every single piece made from raw materials. No aftermarket, no "modified kit parts".

Time to mount the trans to the bellhousing. I beefed up the connection with brass rod and tubing (inside the trans).

Wow! 100% scratchbuilt! I've heard of that . . . :P;)

I'm with Harry, every update tops the ones before!

Hey, Mark! Good to see the steady progress. Looking forward to seeing this . . . and you . . . at GSL next time around.

Best,

~Dan~
