Need to sort out some parts ASAP then it's full steam ahead until the next hiccup...


Walbro intank 255L/hr pump
SARD adjustable fuel pressure regulator
GMM Ripshifter, have a nasty feeling it will have to be a custom one since it just has to point straight up out the top of the shifter assembly, none of the gay linkage from VT-VZ setups. Anyone know if a Corvette one or similar would do the trick??


Flung a pile of emails at people tonight so we'll see how far I get :)

Well, there's been a bit of progress today.

The general state of affairs this morning when I started was a bit depressing...

Pulled all the **** up out of the way to do a quick and dodgy repaint of a brake fluid scarred rail...

IMGP2875.jpg










Polished the bay a little bit while it was easy access... nothing too fussy just a quick one to get rid of some surface ****

Notched the V8 K frame for sump clearance and installed it

Started prepping the motor and box to go in..

Nice work mate, you must be happy to see it sitting in there just for a test fit.
