In summary:
Found the car on Craigslist. Low mile, low rust, straight body. No holes in the hell hole. Longs are clean. A small miracle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) After seeing Rick's "Alien" build, Felix's "Neo 914", and meeting "JLo", Andyrew, Sir Andy and other's rides.... I just gotta' get'er done! |

Thanks Felix,
Of course seeing your beauty coming together played a part. \BTW, where'd you have those 3" spacers made? |

The Neo914 flares are awesome in person but now it sits under a cover until the V8 is back on the road. I thought this was a weekend bolt in but as Renegade says "these are hand built cars, you gotta MAKE things fit"... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Wheel adapters are from Ernie's Alloys, Inc. who sells on eBay. They actually sent me a second set by accident since I had them ship to WA, not my address here. My honesty got the better of me and I sent the extra set back... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |

Your intake manifold has more bhp than my motor.

Your manifold looks a little tall. You may run into trouble finding an air cleaner that will fit under the hood. Looks like you're making good progress... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Yes Eric,
There will be a clearance issue. I'm going to install a cold air intake from parts from a few intake systems. Obviously the first thing is a fairly shallow rubber duct to the carb. Pulling air from I don't know exactly where yet... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

A few suggestions ...
- With those headers make sure you'll be able to route your exhaust on the left side to clear your shifter bar. - Don't use the front and back rubber intake manifold gaskets and instead use a thick bead of Permatex on the rails. - Get a one-piece oil pan gasket, much better than the 4-piece sets. Worth the extra cost. - Use a double-roller timing set with a 3-keyway crank sprocket so you can advance the cam. With the cam I'm using I've found a 4 degree advance makes a big difference in performance. |

Hmm, i didn't know the made a one piece pan gasket. I'll check that out. Permatex? What color/type?? Which cam are you using???? I'm using the Comp Cams Extreme Energy hydraulic 294. Dyno stats below.

I use the orange Permatex but the other 'flavors' should work fine.
I'm using a Speed Pro # CS1013R 288/298 duration .050", .443/.465 lift 112 lobe sep Your cam looks to have higher lift but shorter duration. I'd be interested in how it idles. |
