I have that Bruce Anderson book.

I can't read, but I do look at the pictures quite a bit.

Lawrence don't get into that work,just get the lump in there ,Nascar is nascar ,Porsche design logic is up there ,you need to maintain power in your normally driving range RPM otherwise it won't be easy to drive,mods are great but you have to read up and find an equal balance of drivability against top end power...enough of my rant.
Good luck man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Actually, I'm trying to take an intelligent approach to the task I've taken on.

I am in agreement with McMark's comment.

Also, it may be time to just let this thread die.

Please don't let your thread die. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
I wish you the best in completing your goals in one way or another. If it were easy... insert wise quote here.

I know a guy who has been building a show quality muscle car for a long, long time.
When i say building, I mean he writes checks and breaks out the credit card.

About two years into the project I told him that he would never ever finish that car and that would be intentional, by design.

he said I was FOS but I went on to explain that he was in love with the dream, the fantasy.
If he ever finished the car he would have to accept that it is not absolutely perfect in every way and that it didn't live up to his dreams.
That scares him so he'll never finish the car because he doesn't want to.

Again he said I was FOS.

Fast forward 13 years later the car was ALMOST done, but he decided it needed a color change.
And it now needs an automatic transmission instead of the $3500 manual he had installed.

He has at least $70k into it already but he will never drive that car.



Some folks dream of finishing a project, for some the project IS the dream.


In summary, PUT THE DARN CAR TOGETHER! Please. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Perfection ain't Lar's problem. He's a slop artist like most of us. He just does this for the attention. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Question about mounting the fuel pump.....

Hard mount, or rubber bushings? I know it needs to be grounded too.

Interesting choice of pumps,appears NOS ,I have a nice shiny NOS Hardi and never used it,where do you plan to mount it ?.
Seem to remember them rubber mounted,if you need mounts I think the early BMW 3 and 5 series AFM/airbox ones work if your mounting holes are 6mm.
No pressure regulator required for the pump you have which is a bonus.

I used rubber bushings on all my pumps. That way they don't transfer vibration to the body.

Hard mounting will transfer more noise to the chassis.

Some more welding to be done tomorrow, bottom front trunk metal with louvers, and oil cooler. Once that is done and painted, the oil cooler, oil cooler lines, thermostat, fuel pump, and fuel tank & lines all go in.

***I'm putting the spare receiver on the front bulkhead, anybody got a 15" space saver tire that they can measure for me?***

Diameter needed. Thank you.



I'm excited to move to the back of the car now, I think that is near where the motor is going to go. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I can get you a diameter tomorrow evening after work. Or, you can drive down to Vista tomorrow evening, grab some tacos, and borrow mine, so you know it's in the right place?

My 15" 951 space saver is only 19.75" in diameter, and CRAZY light to boot.

(I plan to use them on the other car, should save me 10-15lb per corner!)

We ground down the middle squares to make them as thin as possible.

They work great for this application.
