I have completed the motor mounts. Now I can get it screwed down to something and get the cam timing set and finish the distributor. I bolted on a few accessories to make the pictures a little more interesting.

The Castings, do you make them?

The Castings, do you make them?

I do not. Once the engine is completed and I am satisfied the thing can be built from them, I will update every page and ship them off to Dirk Tollanaar down in texas. He will have the castings available with the drawings. I have never discussed what the price will be so I can't speak to that. I would expect them to be available by the end of march.

A little more progress. Have the intake manifold cut out. A little hand filing and a shot in the sand blaster and it will be done. Also have the head, intake, and carb gaskets made. Sorry about the lack of pictures but I am rushing a bit to get as fer as i can. Work is about to get crazy and shop time will become zero.

Great job Steve, looking very nice

Well I have reached a milestone on the project. I have completed all that is covered on the drawings. I am going to finalize the drawings and then figure out a way to rig up an ignition and fuel tank and get it fired up. After it has run I will get it mounted and complete a permanent fuel tank and radiator.

Do you have an ignition system in mind? Can't wait to heat that baby fire up! I gather the water pump will be belt driven.

Yes I do. I use Roy's ignitions from S/S. I plan to make some pipes and then try to start it up.

For those like myself, what or who is Roy's s/s ?

Well it fired up today. I had to fool around with the distributor for a little bit but finally got it to pop. Now the fun begins with the tuning and fiddling around but it works!

Nice job! But I kind of expected the fan to work.

 

[michael-au]

Good job Steve
Sounds like it will be a good runner

I had the fan belt off. Don't want to spin the water pump dry or it will smoke the seal.

 

[Cogsy]

Awesome! What more can I say...

I knew you were close, but I was surprised it's running already. I can't wait to hear it when it's tuned up.
