I opted not to install a fuel cell...getting old. This is a 356 fuel tank mounted in the front trunk. Had lots of fun. Best, Mark


Great looking brackets to hold that tank!


Cut the raw stock for my front caliper adapters. Hope to machine this week and test fit.

That surely must be a tedious process. De-greasing and sanding every little nook & cranny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Please tell me it has a safety bladder inside of it?

It's mounted in what turns into the crumple zone if you should hit anything or something hits you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hey! I'm in the middle of swapping engines in the race car for this weekend's Lime Rock Historics because I broke my crankshaft.

How'd your weekend go...?

That's only the 2nd. time I've heard of a 2.0L crank breaking. I think Brant had that happen several or more years ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

And it's in. That was the easy part. Now let's see how long before we see smoke.

What did you paint your trans with, Joe?

Can't remember if it was anything special. I just wanted it to look clean. Took my time cleaning the trans before painting it.

Engine bay wasn't that bad. Probably 3-4 hours. Most of the work was the firewall. The pad was removed, but getting the glue and fibers out was time consuming. It's not perfect , but I'm satisfied with it. I got the primer, paint, and clear from Eastwood. Easy to deal with.
Now I need to find a bunch of bits and pieces to get it together and running. ex MPS mounting hardware, ECU bracket and hardware, throttle cable hardware etc...

Worked on the suby car. Needs to be a roller so I can take it to Amerson for engine and trans install.
Got the 3.2 in an engine stand. Steve/shogunegle had it running in his car so I’m not planning on changing much. Clean it up a bit, backdate heat and a pair of Ben’s heat exchangers.
