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. :D 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 :o Oh great!!! :wacko: 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.

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.

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.

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.
