Finally some pics of the bottom of the car with the engine and transmission installed.
I didn't disassemble or rebuild the engine so it's pretty dirty.....I do have plans.
For now I'm waiting for some exhaust parts etc. to start it.
Another few days.

Yes, I'm going to use two WEVO joints.
I'll use a straight piece of original 914 shift tube with ends I'm making to improve fit
into the WEVO joints.
The fit is a bit loose using the 914 shift rod ends.

According to a favorite rule of thumb among car enthusiasts 'it will cost twice as much
and take twice as long' ..... that is a very optimistic prediction.
My 3.0 is finally installed and 'running' and is 'drivable'
The engine came from a running driving car that was totaled in a crash.
First surprise ? big compression leaks and oil leaks ....but it does run.
Second surprise ? very disappointing control of my 915 / 916 trans.
Soooo..... the engine will come out and be freshened up and emerge as a
short stroke 3.2
But first I'll take this 'opportuniy' chase the transmission issues.
The process began as an effort to adjust the shift linkage but soon it became
apparent that the linkage inside the trans was a problem as well.
Without going into too much detail it turns out that full days of disassembly,
adjustment, reassembly, test drive, disassembly adjustment, etc. etc. etc. have
finally paid off. Today the trans is finally working as it should.
I must say is very different to sit in a 914 and select 1st gear by pushing the lever
forward.
Now I can put the trans aside and go after the engine.
Onward

Well my 3.2 short stroke engine project is turning into an oddyssey due to parts supply issues.
With no ARP rod bolts available I decided to go with better (Pauter)rods. Next
surprise ? No rods available.
Dual plug ignition is no picnic either. Seems everyone has their own version.
I guess I'll have mine too.
So while these things are being chased I'm working on my brothers project.
Check the pic.
1932 Ford 3 window Coupe with 283 Corvette engine.
He's owned the car since 1962 and it was his daily back then.
The body work is all done. I'm assembling the chassis and will get it running.
Can't wait to hear it run.

full long block with 98mm Mahle P&Cs
compression reduced to 9.8 to 1
Twin plug distributor added for bling shot
Next up camshafts install and time, then add the rockers, adjust and button it up.
Might start it out of the car for easy access and adjustment.
I've never driven a short stroke 3.2 but understand they're quite lively and can make up to 300 hp
Progress should pick up a bit now.

Looks good! Similar to my motor. What cam/intake setup are you running? I have the DC40 cams with PMO46s, it really comes to life with high flowing exhaust. There is one on pelican dynoed at 253hp at the wheels!

Rory,

My old 80 SC track car had a short stroke 3.2 built by Gene Kirschner. I bought the car from Eddie Mazur built. The engine was essentially the same as yours with Ge-80 cams and 46 Webers. 320hp @ 7500rpm. It would accelerate hard to 5000rpm and then take a deep breath and pull harder to 7500. In first gear if you fluffed it of the line and floored it, it would pull to 5000 and then light the tires off from there up. It was great fun and extremely reliable. You’ll love it in a light car.
