Bad weather is bad for flying, but good for projects in the shop.


I got the seals I was waiting for and had some unplanned hours in the shop.


Because the fuel hoses had their ends powder coated, I'm worried about pressurizing this engine.

I'm not too sure about baking powder coat with rubber hoses attached. We'll find out soon. I'm not putting the engine in the car before I put 80psi through the lines.

It's starting to look like a 3.2:

Do you think the pressure regulator and damper should be baked in a powder coating oven? I don't know, but the engine looks nice at the moment:

Yeah... I dunno. I'd bake the shroud and a stripped intake but not everything. It does look beautiful though!

Looks super Joe, BTW none of the fuel lines or regulators were powder coated. I found the paint to match the powder coating. I would still check the lines. I just hope for more bad weather.

That's good news. I'll put some fuel through and let you know.

The new fuel lines came today.

I had to remove the center console, storage tray, subwoofer, knee trim and carpet to get the access I wanted.

The front tunnel access was dynamatted in and the rear was "enlarged":

After a test fit of the SS lines, I discovered that the return line would need a little reshaping on the engine end due to the PMS engine mount. I pulled out the tubing bender and massaged it a little. Now it fits. It's no ding on the manufacturer, I recommend these nice pieces by Rotary'14.

I stupidly forgot to order new firewall grommets and don't have any that fit, so on to other matters.


The engine harness is almost complete. Here are some detail pictures including the new 14-pin male connector that will hook directly to the 14-pin female on the car. The relay board has been deleted:

Made some serious progress today.


Two of the oil return tubes were damaged in shipping. Here are the new ones in place:

Headers on. This should be pretty quick, but missing studs and other difficult hardware made it take a while:

Both the fans supplied had to be rejected. Here's a new one:

Since we're putting the coolers in the back, James was kind enough to see the logic in putting the tank in the stock location.

DWD tank install will proceed this week.

Here's the old system out. James gets his front trunk back and I'm really glad we did this to get the hot oil lines out of the cockpit.

Unbelievably, the supply line fitting had a -10 (or smaller) orifice.

On the other side of things, the scavenge side also had -16 line.

Pointless. -12 is fine, but look at this neck-down at the oil filter.

It's a good thing we decided to look at everything:

The last one from today.

I guess I forgot to take a picture of the very nice PMS/KEP flywheel and clutch arrangement, but this is looking pretty well.


Super nice muffler:

For those of you who remember the obstructed supply-line picture. I cut the hose at the other end today. Same thing:
