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 |

I know the temtation to run her without an exhaust BUT I've learned that the engine is so loud that if something inside the engine is banging you will not hear the noise until it is too late. I have an engine stand for run-up and I took a pair of 76 stubby exhaust manifolds with the three bolt flang and bolted to it a matching flange I got at NAPA, about 2" , and welded in an old VW exhaust tip . The tapered one that is about 1.5' and tapers out to about 2" . I put it in backwards so the big end is in the flange and the small end is open. This acts as a muffler and is a little quiet. Good Luck
