My Dad used to say when I was working on one of my cars "you might as well jack up the radiator cap and run a new car under that thing the way you are going!" The radiator cap part may not apply but that is going to be one fine new car when you are finished. Thanks for sharing...

Breathtaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

You've raised the bar so high, I'm afraid the rest of us can only walk under it from here on.

"Nice work" doesn't begin to do justice to what you have done, superlatives escape me....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

NOS rear trunk button. I had a locksmith use the internals out of the old button so I could use the original key. He made me some extra keys from NOS blanks too.

Long-block is back from a local OC engine builder. This is a '76 2.7 S engine which was true.

I decided on this build because I want a high RPM carburated Peeky engine with more HP that torque. This is a copy of the 2.7RS spec. which should make around 200HP.

Case:
All the oil plugs were removed in order to clean the pasages. The bypass was done, the squirters were replaced and a 3.0 oil pump was used. Allign-bore was done. All bearings were replaced, time certs installed and new dilivar head studs were installed. The counter-shaft gear was neplaced with new. This is a commonly overlooked, but affects the cam and ignition timing.

Crank:
All plugs removed, galley's cleaned and new plugs installed. Crank was micor polished and balanced.

Rods:
Al rods checked, balanced, and small end bushings replaced with new.

Cam Towers:
Machined to flat surface. Oil tube removed, cleaned out and replaced with new plugs.
New German billet Cam Blanks ground to "S" Spec. and hardened.

Heads:
Replaced all valves with Aasco, guides with silicone-bronz. Replaced springs, keepers, retainers. CIS injector holes were welded closed and machined since I will be running Webers. Ports were opened and polished. Air injector holes were pluged.

Cylinders:
New Mahle 8.5-1 RS type pistons and cylinders.

Chain Boxes:
New ramps and chain, and pressure-fed tensioners.

Take a look...

Putin' some of the stuff on...

Plastic insulators are used between the heads and the manifolds to keep the carbs cooler which helps to reduce perculation.
