I am getting there slowly I guess

 

[Neil - UK]

looking good, got the new cam in ?

 

[carl B]

Yeah the cam went in Tuesday along with the aluminium flywheel

Getting some port work done on the manifold next as Greg Good said it was necessary

Belanger headers on in the next couple of days and then I may even try a run with the naturally aspirated manifold

I will see as time goes on I guess

Water injection kit arrived from Sean so there is some more work too!

 

[carl B]

Nearly there!!

 

[carguy07]

I love those rockers! Are you doing all that work with the hood on?

 

[carl B]

Yep as I have nowhere to store it

Good for the back I guess

Thanksfor posting this thread - I am planning on doing just about the same thing this cold weather season. Give us as many details as possible as I know many others will be following where you've already gone.

Also what cam did you switch to?

Congratulations Carl, I always obsess about the engine starting after major work like that.

 

[Neil - UK]

Nice one Carl

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

Cant wait to see/hear it..

[carl B]

Many many hours two trips to the US and countless pounds

It frightens me to think?

Carl

 

[carl B]

Continue with the fuel system install

Not the best job to undertake as access is a little limited

 

[carl B]

52 mile in the snake tonight!!

948 to go!!!

 

[carl B]

A year on and still going strong!!


Very Strong

Carl

 

[Nuck]

Any surprises in the last 9 months Carl? Did you ever put the car on a dyno?

 

[VENOMAHOLIC]

I love the roots type blower you chose and how the ram air intake is still functional. First like that I have seen. What psi are you running on the blower? How did I miss this post last year. Very nice documentation.
