RiqueMar - I hate you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). I wish I had an engine for my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)


You know, I still have that 2.9 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I'll pay you $5 for it...even though my wife would still want to kill me for buying another motor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Is damn tempting though...I guess I'd need to know how much, haha.

Thanks!

Eventually, I'll do a new system, possibly using the same cooler (which is the stock cooler) at a sharper angle so that it may lay 'flatter', it's currently just over about 45 degrees. The benefit with this one for the time being is that the holes in the body do not have to be that large, so I can always go bigger with the shroud/cooler. Also, a big factor with this system is that it allows me plenty of room for the spare tire, fuel pump, and fuel filter.

The only thing still really pending on the cooling system is the interface with the fan. I'm not sure if I want to go with a manual switch, leave it powered the entire time, or go with the original setup that kicked the fan on at a specific oil temp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I suppose, most likely, I'll use the original setup and clean up the electronics a bit for the time being.


Got into the shop a little early today, so I had a bit of time to work on the lines from the thermostat to the cooler.

OK, I'll admit it. It took me a double take before I got the plate but I like it.

RiqueMar- I appreciate that; but it will be a stock 3.2 when the time comes.

I have to find a way to get down to San Diego on business so I can stop by your shop and just stand around with my mouth hanging open as I turn green with jealousy.

I was steaming right along trying to get ready for Route 66, working until about 12 each night. When I realized I couldn't go, I got a little de-motivated and ignored the car for a few days, but I'm over it and back on it.

Fuel lines are run and standardized, everything is -6 AN with bulkhead fittings in the tunnel. MAN was it a pain to connect up the fittings in the tunnel! Originally, the PO had cut a sort of 'plate' and just riveted it to the firewall from the engine bay side. Now, I have straight -6 bulkhead fittings going to a 90 degree adaptor that feeds then engine area fuel lines. For reference, the drivers side fuel 'port' is the IN line, and the passenger side is for return.

I ended up covering the backpad and floor under the seats with the same felt style material that's under the carpets, I figure if I ever want to do a driving event and run a set of MOMO seats I have, it'll look decent with the backpad out, and you wont see the shiny Fatmat material.

For the record, this really deadens the sound. If I recall correctly, the firewall/seat area now has rubberized undercoating outside and inside, paint, fatmat, felt, and carpet.

Interior going in, finally get to grab some stuff out of storage that I've been saving for years! Mostly interior items, but I think it's nice stuff.

Getty door panels, seats, interior trim that i find here and there and I've been saving.

As for the car, I put on the brakes just today, the oil lines are hooked, and the electrical is just about there minus the fuel pump, I hope to crank it over soon!

Note to self: If you're struggling with putting a caliper on for more than 10 minutes, stop and check if you're putting the correct caliper on the correct side.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

RiqueMar- Nice to see some progress photos; I have the exact same rear calipers courtesy of Eric. Mine are still in a real nice box though.

My car is now in VA to begin the process of restoration. Dr. Evil just completed my transaxle and it looks very nice and should shift like a dream. I had it converted to a side-shifter and it has all of the JWest shift rods, etc. and will have the JWest shifter too.

You still have that old 3.2 sitting around?

Yeah, I have the whole JWest setup as well, but when I made the switch to this 3.6 it already had the Wevo kit on it. I may end up just using the shifter or adapting the kit to work with the Wevo, but that's once I get it on the road.

I'm waiting on a shift bushing from Pelican, as my bonehead self installed the bushing before the linkage and I had to drill it out.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Worst comes to worse, I'll put the whole system on the black car that this came off with my 2.9 and Side-shifter.

Yes I do have the engine still. PM me or email me, eallenmar@driveskills.com

Got all the pipes, MAS, and hoses hooked up this weekend. I swear, everything just barely fits!

Also, made these 5mm spacers for my set of GT brakes, and had to grind off a bit of the suspension console.

I thought the calipers where a no mod bolt on. why did you have to grind?

My suspension was boxed/reinforced and some extra weld/paint/etc was there. I suppose it would fit, but it's much cleaner now with that amount of clearance. The small amount of grinding I did gives you that much more space making it easier to install and remove.

Eric said he did a thread on recommendations, but I'm having a bit of trouble finding it.
