OOoorrrighty guys, here's the progress report thus far.. the pics are all out dated, but who cares... my baby on the way to the dads workshop to get it's new donk... that's my old man in the pic... everyone's seen one of these... but one more for good luck this shows the old paper weight ready to be hoiked outta there, would have come out a lot easier... if only i remember to take out the gear stick an (almost) empty engine bay... soon to be home to a 1GGTE, didn't have to modify ANYTHING in the bay, not even the cross member, we unbolted the steering linkage, just to simplify things, but that's it... i LOVE this pic... once it was in, and bolted up, i literally stood there just looking for like... 10mins, starring at the just he way john kerrigan did with his power lines on "the castle" this one shows the only modification i had to do to almost anything to get the engine in, and yeah... we've all seen this one too... the bashed in sump, look closely, and you'll see it again... done, ready to be packed back on the trailer for the trip home just today i managed to source the bracket that's been giving me so much grief. got my crank pulley back fresh from loosing some weight, and a belt groove. got the fuel fittings sorted out, it's impossible to find metric threaded fuel fittings here in bris... ended up re-using the banjo fittings, and doing away with the pickup point on the side of the block, had a barbed tail brazed on to the pipe that leaves the pulse dampener, and swapped the factory regulator for another banjo with another barbed tail. also had a fitting made up for the steel line from the tank, it's just a compression joiner with a barbed tail brazed once again onto it. at the same time i had a longer clutch hose made up... all the hose work and fittings cost me $130, worth it i reckon. (done by the local mobile hose dude) to do list: fit radiator, thermo fans, intercooler, let someone else do the piping, exhaust and wiring. wanna get the lubrication system flushed out too.. there seems to be a fair bit of crap inside the rocker cover... hmmm other then that there's all the bits i can't think of atm... THEN it's off to the engineers... can't wait... wish me luck [Updated on: Mon, 05 September 2005 11:42] [Report message to a moderator]
