New Car Build

[hudson 10]

Dry build starred quite a lot of metal is needed to be removed from the heads to allow the cams to turn

Whats with the cam carrier caps?

Love the project by the way.

[hudson 10]

He made the caps to allow easier shimming as with the cam box on you struggle to get in

[welshpug 1,722]

its bolted to something on the bench, probably part of an engine stand.

[hudson 10]

Levitation lol its bolted the a plate that has a round bar that then slots into another tube fixed to the bench this the allows the engine to be rotated at ninety degrees throughout it's full axis for working on

[hudson 10]

Tbh the trumpet size is a bit of a trial and error witj various lengths and diameters being tried

[rallyeash 155]

Be interesting to see how you get on with that exhaust, The tunnel needs a fair amount of work at a guess to fit it as the 4-2-1 version I do just about fits in the gap. From a friend of mine asking them they did not say they knew what was needed

[Mad Scientist 106]

Big hammer.

 

It might also cause issues with the satch shift. I had to move mine over on the subframe.

 

All fun and games!

[hudson 10]

Satchshift for sale tractive ordered so will free up tunnel a bit more plus if I've to modify I've plenty of paint

[hudson 10]

Clip from mapping and dyno time more than happy with results running almost identical power and torque as Pete mad scientists 2.2 Just need to get her slipped into the car
