Project sees the light of day for the first time........, Sunlight does it justice! Options

Ok, so maybe not under it's own power just yet, but it made it outside for a little sunshine. After reaching a good break point today, I rolled my car outside to finally get a look at that GT silver in the sun. I must say, it's inspiring to see it in the light of day. Now just a little more wrenching and it goes out under it's own power!

One last pic.........this is the throttle linkage I made. You're pretty much on your own in regards to throttle when you flip the intake on a 3.6. It makes it fit nicely in the engine bay, but puts the throttle linkage in a position where it wants to be pulled straight up. Being how I didn't want to run the cable through the roof and over engine bay, I made an aluminum bellcrank (or partial pulley) to change the motion from up/down to front/rear. I then replaced the 3.6 linkages attaching ball joint with a ball from an extra 914 pedal link. This allowed the use of a 914 pedal link ball cup. The ball cup usually threaded onto the pedal end of a 914 throttle cable and the engine end is just a cylindrical stub, so I drilled the ball end and threaded it for two set scress to clamp the cable end in the ball. Add a trick lightening hole riddled cable braket and viola.....

I hooked it all up and it works smooth as buttuh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
