I received the missing reducer and 02 bungs so I was able to finish the exhaust system today. I welded in the bungs, screwed in the 02 sensors and began assm.

And with the bumper installed. I'll add some tips later but this is it for the exhaust now.

Looks great! Nice work! I bet you're tired of welding now, but at least it's done. Let's hear it!

I'll post an audio later this week when I start it. My 63 YO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) was too tired to put gas in it when I finished yesterday. The combination of heat and humidity put me in my place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) My punch list is down to 24 items. Mostly, small items conjured up to satisfy my OCD. I'm sure that count will change after I drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
To answer your question Ross; time and luck. I spent several hours with this because "it shows". Once I was satisfied with the left bank I duplicated the measurements for the right bank.
It's amazing to me that the 3 of us (Ross, Chris and yours truely) started about the same time and finish about the same time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I would say the 4 of us but one of us took the "Divorce Detour". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The 3 Subateer's.

Mine's driveable, but i'm sure its going to take a lot more optimization as we go than yours or Chris'!

And here is what it sounds like. My comp skills are lacking so I'll just post the links. A real throttle cable should arrive next week then it's drive time and start shaking out the bugs. I'm not finished but getting closer.

Sounds great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Are the fans in front really that ratty sounding or is it just the audio quality? Sounds like they're on their last legs!

LOL. No they aren't. They're new and quite. It's just echo audio in that part of the garage. I love that big assed alternator on that thing. It can handle any load. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Well, one week short of 19 months and it finally hit the road again. It was just a quick trip with a jury rigged accelerator cable. Funny thing, I started it and the sky literally opened up. No complaints, we're in a drought! So 1 hour later I took it around the hood for a quickie! I'm not getting much pedal travel so I don't know what WFO feels like but sweeeeeeeeeeeet sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, I've got a six (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . I know what Ross meant by 1st gear happens quick. I need to be pay attention to power management in the coming weeks and not let this thing get too far ahead of me. Not used to the power yet but I'm pretty sure I'll be addicted in another day or two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The P/W ratio is so absurd you can take off in 2nd or 3rd. I was going up a hill in the hood 20mpn in 4th; no problem. GPS speedo is kick ass. Next several weeks will be chasing gremlins and de-bugging but as it is, I'm happier than a 2 petered Billy Goat.

That's amazing. So you filled the radiator? How are the temps? I spent all day in the garage...still there in fact. Wiring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Oh yeah, filled the radiator but limited short runs until I get the temp gage working. It's circulating the water but I run the fans manually until I can "see" the temps. Once I see the temps I'll connect the ECU fan control wires. I got some input from (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Bob (BIGKAT83) re: the burp tank/reservoir theory, location/placement and an air/water bleed tap on the engine itself. Don't know where I'd be w/o the Godfathers help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I thought I'd felt some low cycle oscillation at 5mph which could have been old tires sitting in one spot for over a year or I may have to reinforce the the cross bar on my engine cradle. Chris and I are in league with this clutch development and may have another few weeks before we are satisfied with the final product. All I will say at this point is that it works but it is stiff. Very glad that I added the brace to these set ups at this point! More on this as it evolves. Without seats and only a pillow for support I look like an 11 year old driving around the hood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I think I shall install the drivers seat today and test out the "Bun Warmer" while it's installed. Also, I should get a shift knob w/ the correct shift pattern installed soon as I almost took out my garage wall once, already. I don't think testing will be far enough along to allow a trip to RRC this year. If it is ready by then it would be a last minute decision. I think I'll set my sites on the G&R Fall Event for this year instead! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It sounds great.

Kent.... here is how I did my mufflers. At cruise this is as quiet as my wifes Camry.
When I'm at a stoplight I have to look at the tach to make sure its still running.
