It's an IRS pan and set up, not a swing axle. 
He's still gotta figure out an engine hanger set up.

I am excited with what is going under the engine cover. The new heads for the engine should bump me up a bit.

It was recommended by the head porter, that I switch valves, retainers, keepers and lash caps to what the heads would have originally had. Not a cheap thing to do, but it seems like cheap insurance after investing in these heads!

The only time I think this is remotely ok. Car needs a diet... this is just one part of it all. Bolt in, of course...

So you're building this car into a track car then.

So, will you be undoing all of the body mods to the pink car? Or will they stay? I thought you were going to "water cool" it.

Ok, so that should save you some time. Does that case have the provisions for a hanger bar?

Used 1 3/4 exhaust is on its way!
The rear subframe will be a swing/IRS conversion. Frame horns and IRS pivots, so no rear engine hanger and solidnmoits of the subframe.

With the head porting and those carbs, your watch could end up in the bottom end. Nice work. |
