When I checked the size of the holes in the shroud with the insulators, I could see that I needed to trim the holes a little larger. I've read that this is normal, so I was prepared.

It wasn't too hard to grind the holes, I just had to make sure that none of the dust ended up in the engine.

I figured I'd mock up the carbs and see if there was going to be any more problems, but it all fit great.

But I'm missing one of the fastener clips to finish the fiberglass block off trim that mounts to the front of the shroud. I have 3 of the 4. Anybody have an idea where to find them? I check 2 stores today, but no luck. I'm going to Ace tomorrow. They seem to have a large selection.

And I see that there are 3 holes in the shroud. Anybody know why they are there?

And do I need these 3 bolts sticking up from the block?

Looks great Billy! Something so perfect about triple throat Webers on a flat six.

Those 3 bolts are for an accelerator bracket for the CIS injection. You don't need them with carbs.

In regard to the 3 holes. The one on the right, in your picture (passenger side) gets a plastic plug, the one on the left is for a bolt holding a "heat source" funnel to push air down to the heat exchanger (see my picture). The one on top is for a plug that holds spark plug wires on CIS engines.

So this is where it stands. Now I need to figure out what sending units will be mounted to the engine and order up some new ones. Tomorrow I'm going to start the headers and fan belt. Then the tin

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That is one sweet looking motor Billy. Way to pretty though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif). It really needs to go in a dirtier car otherwise it will just be over the top. I suppose I could throw it in my old v8 car to help you out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Am I the only one to notice the dust on the hats? I think you're going to have to repaint them Billy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Simply fabulous...I'm sure it will sound as good as it looks.

Mcclendons has a pretty extensive metric selection. Try the Renton store.
