Here it is, the car is ready for the engine, which is only lacking the fan belts. I am off to the FLAPS to get me some belts. I should have it in at least today. This is for everyone who thinks I am not doing anything on my car and it will never be running. Next week guys, once the exhaust is done, its going to run. Before the 4th. bwahahahah.

Scott,
Can you photo document and detail your install for us? I plan to remove my motor and haven't done it in many years.
Thanks,
Felix

I did have a little help, one of the wrench turning gearheads from the board came to assist me. You should all be so lucky.

With that kind of help I can't understand why your car isn't done yet!

Lookin good Scott. Your helper is looking good also... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I didnt know she helped you turn wrenches also. I have to stop and think about how blessed I am to have multiple young ladies in this area willing to work on 914's with us. I can always gather 8-10 GUYS to help out.. but when the ladies show up and dive into the project.. the 914 world stops turning for a second.

Ok, Its ready to go in. The engine is together and bolted to the trans with the starter and its ready to go into the car. Here is a pic Lisa just had to take. It's about 6:30, I think there is enough light left out to put it in but I still need to remove the rear trunk springs and I think I need to cut the rear panel to clear the distributor. I will find out shortly, I am going to try it.

Scott,
Beautiful engine, what are the specs? Did you build it?
BTW, you may want to get a remote oil filter kit as the shift bar may keep you from removing it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Take video of the first start, it's mandatory!

Great, where do I find one of those at? The specs are Rod Simpsons, RSH2 cam and lifters, 12:1 pistons, 55CC chambered heads, it should run ok. We will see here pretty soon. I am having to quit for the day now, there was some little crap I had to finsih up before I could install the motor. CV joints and stuff. Here is me under the car finishing up the CV's. Lisa is camera happy. I have to work very early tomorrow so I need to clean up and eat and get to bed soon. I will get it all together this week as long as nothing comes up to hold me up.

Scott,

Looks excellent. Great job. The tach has been pulled but not sent to you yet. I move a little slow these days. Keep going.

Hey Brad,

Thanks for the nice words about ladies "wrenching"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) I think it is very interesting and fun. My occupation is technical too (Cardiac Cath Lab-X-ray Tech, scrub assist)
so tools and technical things are not that big of a stretch from what I do. Plus having someone who is such a good teacher as Scoot, really helps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

It's fun to help trouble shoot things, and I have acually come up with some good ideas all by myself! Hehehehe! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Have a great week!

That's fast work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) When did you start turning wrenches?
