stewart Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 The engine is now installed. I need to complete the exhaust, install the radiator, finish a few other odds and ends, and this build will be done. Maybe I can even complete it this weekend. I had a small setback tonight though it ended up being a good thing. I had the engine all put together, the drive shaft installed, and I glued the engine and radiator in the engine compartment. Suddenly, I realized that there were no headers Oh great!!! So I had to take off the manifold and the two superchargers in order to get to the engine block heads to drill out the holes for the headers. However, I was able to clean up some excess glue buildup since the prochargers were off and make the engine look a little cleaner. That was the good part. I have it all done now. I just need to glue it in place after I make sure I can get the exhaust in. STewart I was able to hook up the pulleys for the pro chargers. I think that this way works. Tell me if it doesn't. I had to add another belt to one side. STewart
stewart Posted October 1, 2011 Author Posted October 1, 2011 I have the radiator installed, and I am almost done with the exhaust system. I just need to make the tips. The glasspack mufflers are aluminum from JB Hobbies. The piping is .125 solder and aluminum tubing. STewart
stewart Posted October 2, 2011 Author Posted October 2, 2011 This build is complete. Look in Under Glass for completed pics. STewart
RodneyBad Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Very Cool looking Engine. I like the twin Pro-Chargers.. Headers and Exhaust looks Great too... Rumor has it that there will be a model show and swap meet this month in Clackamas. No farther info soo far.
