I would like to see some nice flat four engine pics, in the bay particularly. Carbs or injection, whatever.

Sweet. Quick question, why put the coil in the trunk?

Posted by: Kargeek Sep 22 2006, 10:02 AM

OK...bass ackward carb linkage, Permatune mounted under the relay board, 911 plug wires. Early heater fan mount cut down to mount the breather box.

Nice car! Carb question: I bought a T4 with IDF40s and the linkage was in the back of the engine. Yours are in the front. Is there a right or wrong way to install the carbs?

Posted by: synthesisdv Sep 22 2006, 11:44 AM

thanks,

i think you can set it up either way depending on which way you want the throttle cable to pull, front the front or back.

headrage,
your engine is beautiful, however you're going to have a hard time getting you side shift linkage to work, your engine bar is on backwards...

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Sep 22 2006, 02:26 PM

Yup, I saw the same thing!

Posted by: URY914 Sep 22 2006, 02:29 PM

He's using the offset shift rod. Very rare.

Posted by: Headrage Sep 22 2006, 02:42 PM

Yep, rare shifter option.

Actually the pics are almost 2 years old and I realized the bar was ass backwards right after I posted them in '05.

Quick fix...

Mine after the rebuild and in the car . . . soory for the extreme lack of beauty

It is a 2.0 I bought several years ago, it cleaned up really good. It was in my white 73, but later I put it in the gret 72 - but an spark plug insert had failed and it is back to a 1.7 for the time being.

What is a good way to restore the fan shroud to a more factory look? I don't like shiney silver paint.

Posted by: pbanders Sep 24 2006, 04:46 PM

Perhaps some type of bead blasting? It's made of magnesium, hard to clean it up and get it looking decent. I had mine powder coated silver.

Sweet shinny squid like perversion!!!

I have tried a few different things over the years but the only thing that I have

been happy with was:

1) Degrease and bead blast.

2) High temp aluminium paint.

3) Polyurethan clear.

The poly.. dulls the silver and the protects it from getting stained. I used Poly...

on my RC hydros to protect the paint from the Nitrobenzene fuel we used.
