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 |

You will need a way to shut off the engine. Put a switch in the 12V to coil.
Agreed on exhaust and fan and cooling tin. I used an old lawn mower gas tank to the CB pump. I had the altenator wired up and voltage regulator wired as I had to test them also. I did this with Rob Watson's engine. basic turn key. I had the engine mount bar installed and was able to use it to secure the engine to the metal work bench with some ratchet straps. Used his transaxle also and strapped it also. |
