True Classic
Maybe because I'm feeling good about this, maybe because it's been 3 long years, and maybe because I'm inspired by other people's work, that I hope to inspire others. Here's a few from the last few years. I'm in the rebuilding phase now. Everything's been test fitted, twice as to avoid anything unforseen
. The gearbox has been rebuilt, my first attemp, but it spins and engages the gears, so I'm hopfull. The bottom end is built, I'm just in the process of shimming the cams and bolting down the head. And I'm waiting for my prog. fuel system, which is in getting the prog. ignition option added. I'll add a few of the many pcs that I made for this. Just because I couldn't leave well enough alone. Instalation/ engine photos to follow hopefully in 1-2 months.
The header I welded up from a generic kit of assorted bends and extras as needed. 1.5" ID primarys, 27" in length, all within 1" going into a 2.25 collector. I built this more toward top end performance. My only complaint was that I couldn't get #2 to link correctly as the bend was very sublte. This has since been ceramic coated black.
Aluminum accesory pulley I made that's lighter and underdrives the pump and alternator. Having access to seveal lathes and mills at work was invaluable.
Torque rod, along with the 4 mounting points for the drivetrain should keep everything in place.
The crank, polished, balanced and 4.4 lbs lighter than original. We wire cut the counterweights instead of milling as no additional stress was introduced to the crank. I blended on the lathe and grider later. Total machine time for the EDM was over 8 hrs, I know this is the only crank like this in Canada. Total cost for the EDM, about $2 in wire. Thanks to Steve C for the idea, thanks to my boss for the machine.
Left side frame detail. Since the car is lower than stock, I couldn't avoid the suspension arm, but I've had a friend/engineer ok it.
Intake manifold progress shot. Steel, only for ease of fabrictation. I'll make another when I can weld aluminum. Thottle bodies are 40mm.
Another view also showing the location of the alternator. Clean up of the engine bay has progressed.
Completed manifold for my DCOE throttle bodies.
Aluminum oil pan that I had welded in stages as I cut the pieces required.
