Some things that has been done the last 2 weekends. Not done yet tho. Still some more modifications. But getting ready to go to England in less then 4 weeks to get the engine mounted.
Some bracing of the transmission tunnel.
Intake to feed the air filter box that will be on the engine. It's going to be between the radiator and the frame.

Horray for progress!
Looking at those intake ports it looks just about impossible to get a clamp around them. Maybe it is just the angle of the pics. How will the intake manifold attach?

We will drill and tap the flange once the intake is done. There is a o ring on the flange the goes to the intake.JT

This is a mockup engine yes. No eshaft in it, and only scrap plates on it.
Well some more work has been done. About 3/5 of the exhaust is done. The rear runner is almost done. Just not tacked on the flange. Well here is some more pictures.

Yeah it's a peterson oil tank. And it's a meziere 55gph water pump.
The manifold is almost done. Had to redo the nr 3 to be able to make nr 4. Tomorrow that will be done, and hopefully all the piping and the throtlle bodies will be in for the intake, so that can be started with tomorrow.

So the headers are almost done. Going to make the collector tomorrow, and finish the exhaust. Connecting it to the rest of the exhaust. And it's beeing sendt out for ceramic coating as soon as it's done. As everything is so close, we need to get the heat down. Going to make a heat sheild as well.
Started on the coils today. Mounting them on the side of the frame. And we got the ecu today, so that will be fitted in the car tomorrow, and hopefully we can start on the engine harness tomorrow.
A car came in today at the workshop, a Chevron tube frame historical racing car. With a 12a PP carburated mid mounted engine The car look so sweet and sounds sweet.
