Last time I read about a poodle and diabolically cool work was in Faust. And the poodle’s master was very capable. Gotta go dog shopping...

So, my thoughts of a quick engine install was not to be - I got everything ready with the engine on a jack cart and the car up on a lift. Thought was to easily drop the car down on the engine. Then when I’m all ready, I finally realize that the engine bar and engine tin are too wide for the inside tracks of the lift (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

So two choices, take engine out from under the lift and then get car on the ground and do it the normal way or, remove the engine bar and one side of the engine tin and stick with original pla. Of course I chose the hard way and removed the bar and tin. Easy off, hard back on. In any case, it’s back together and engine is sitting in engine bay ready to finish up tomorrow.

Kudos to you for a fantastic build! I will be referring to it as I put mine back together. I will say that this is the perfect color to show off the detail of your great work. The contrast is great between the black and yellow, it would not have been the same on a darker color.
A couple of questions: are you running a return line to the the fuel tank? I didn't see one. Any issues with clearance on the oil cooler and engine? Will this be a fair weather car? I did not notice any undercoating. Forgive me if I have repeated any questions already asked, as I did not read all of the replies.

Cheers,
John

Hi John,

It will be a fair weather car...hence I decided not to do any undercoating. Even though I measured 6 times, I managed to put the oil cooler such that a small part hits the edge of a nut on the transmission. So I'll have to move it slightly. Grrrr. No return line. I'll put one in if I re-install the original engine.

Thanks for the comments...

Hooked up the speedometer cable - was a bit short until I realized I needed to pull more through the tunnel

Ran the two blue lines for the oil cooler - any view on them resting on top of the heat exchangers?

I think I’ve run all the wires and cables correctly. The throttle cable just runs up behind and through the rubber seal engine tin seal correct ?

All looking fantastic, such a great build.

If it were me I'd be looking to get those oil lines off of the heat exchangers, they do get hot.

Finally caught you skimping on something! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) There is a rubber protector cap for the starter cable that is still available pretty cheap. Part # is 999-659-006-50. It will make your car run faster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Looking great! Getting close to the big moment!
