My engine is seperated into its major components. (Motor (2056 T4), Mallory Unilite, blue coil, carbs, linkage, low pressure fuel pump, engine tin, alternator). The engine is built. But the mallory is off it, the tin is off, the carbs are off, etc.
I want to put it together, and test run it on Oct 20th before I install it into the car. I know that I am going to need a battery and wire to run the starter, fuel pump, and plugs. I know I need new gaskets when I attach the carbs to the motor. Obviously, I am going to need gas, and new oil. What else do I need? Help me make a checklist. My goal is to put the major components together, pack it in my subaru, and fire it off at the Sterling meet later this month (then put the now-together motor back in my subaru, take it home, and get it in the 914). This is a high quality wire plan for my test harness. Do I need to add anything more? Zach |

Zach Mallory on and rough timed. carbs on and plumbed. A feed fuel line with a fuel filter on the end dropped into a gas can. Engine tin should probably be on depending on how long you intend to run it. Transaxle attached with starter in place. It is nice to hook up at least an idiot light for the oil pressure if not a gauge. Starter and ignition have to be wired up of course. I can't think of anything else but I just got up a minute ago so forgive my fog... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I was going to cut up a junked tranny housing and just use that to bolt the starter on. Added the fuel line and filter to my checklist. Zach |
