the motor will most likely go into the car tomrrow..

Got it all rebuilt to drysump and put on all the covers on the block and intake today, also put some paint on the middle irons and end plates to make it look a little more shiny.

hopefully the motor is back into the car tomorrow, and some testing on sunday.

the flat oil-pan with a small pickup sump is mounted


Blended and rebuilt to dry sump front cover is mounted


Spent 10 minutes on painting some on the irons, the engine looks much better now, was worth 10 min

Got the car back on the road again today, just been driving it a short trip to see how it works, and it works fine, no leaks or any other problems.

Can try to get some pictures and maybe also a film when I'm driving it tomorrow or during the week.

Sorry for no pictures now, but has been to busy with getting the car finished again.

Aneby

As stated before, looks great man!!! Not too many projects around here that can compete with yours
Are you coming to our rotary meet in Sweden the 29th?? Hope I´ll get to see you and your awesome car IRL there.

Keep up the good work!

Do you have any pics with the new motor in the car?

Norwegian_rotary

not at the moment, but can get one, anything you want to see?

Norwegian_rotary

did some testing on the track today, the car works fine, some adjustments of the suspension and the car will be good, also som fine tuning off the engine needs to be done..

Got some rounds on the track before i had to drive of the track and moved the left front wheel 5 cm forward..
This beacaus one idiot in front of me did a spin in the middle of the corner so I had to run of the track to prevent a crash and even more damage..


So... A day or two of work on the car now to get it back on the road again..

I just came upon this thread today, all I can say is wow. The work you do is amazing. I spent about an hour or more just reading through all of the posts. You have definitely inspired many people on this board including me. This makes me want to start tearing into my rx7 project even more. Unfortunately I am currently in school and I have to wait till the summer to really start my project, A street and track 7 powered by a small block ford v8. I am trying to keep the 50/50 balance too. My friend has scales which I will use to correctly distribute the weight while I do minor mods.
