Just realized I was adding project info to a WTB add....so moving it to the garage.
It hit me today that since I'm using L-Jet heads, I need to add venting for the crankcase. Is the best method to drill and tap for a threaded insert? I've been reviewing breather boxes too. Not sure which I want. I'll be using cabin heat so if the breather puts out fumes, I'm putting it into the trunk. For the breather set up, I may need an early oil filler unit with the port on it. Anyone have one handy? I have the '75 LJet unit, can I modify this to work? Or can I use the larger diameter port that is t'd off the filler neck? Since I'll have to have this machining done, anything else I should do, like relocating the spark plug hole? Is that really a significant upgrade? The valves were re-done, 42x36. Got Weber 40's coming, 71mm crank/rods, Webcam 86b. Need to swap out the KB pistons with ones for the correct wrist pin ht. Also going to install 8mm rocker studs. maybe longer oil pump studs for the 30mm Shadek. Need to get the crank polished and rotating assembly balanced. I think in my spare '74 motor lies a fan with all the blades. Need to pull that out too. I will definitely need to get some of the wiring issues sorted out going from LJet FI to carbs. Feel like this is starting to come together... smile.gif |
