Mint that si. What was the parts like to get for the engine like valves and camshafts.
|
valves no problem.. rest.. dont ask
|
Lol take that as bad im struggling for v3-4 gear never mind a 6 cylinder beast

Cams were custom made from billet and took forever to do.
valves and springs and titanium retainers were to bad to get hold of etc. Simon |

Can't give away all your secrets ;) I've never been to any SSO or 30-130 etc but once this is ready, i think i'm going to make the trips to see this in action once it's done :) |

what are your plans for the underside? heres what my old classic looked like for an idea.
Attachment 66784 |
Its a race car. I am not going to paint or powder coat everything to make it heavier.
The main aim is to go fast not look pretty, on that line the inlet manifold maybe going. I am even concious that had I bought a shell and not had it sprayed it would be lighter! Simon |
just read the whole thing,your car is stunning,credit to you

Few changes, for ease and speed of being finished.
Manifold changed and altered radiator fitted, ps pump mock fitment Attachment 66607 Stevenson motorsport ecu loom arrived :) Attachment 66608 Morrettes painted and test fitted, intercooler pipework made from bits I had laying around so can be used to plan real pipework. Attachment 66609 Attachment 66610 Simon |
Looking awesome Simon, what's the planned completion date?
|
asap
waiting of a few parts so I can finish this mock up and again waiting on more parts to complete the proper engine.. then gearbox out, engine out, proper engine in and build it up. just waiting on those parts and then time to do it. If parts I am waiting on arrive this week then a chance it might be a nice christmas present for me to hear the engine run for the first time. Simon |
This is gonna be awesome when its finished. Hope you're gonna post a vid of the first fire up for us all to hear :D Why the manifold change? I'm assuming because of pipe routing issues...... Thats a lot of i/c pipework you have there :lol1:
I can't help but think, though, you should have painted the morrettes black and complimented them with black crystal sidelights...... |
