this months project is going to look suspiciously like an intake manifold

perhaps some bead blasting and high temp ceramic coating could make the list too!

clean shortblock and tranny.... nice

Holy peripheral port batman!

engine and trans are new... i changed my mind about painting the car.... it might just stay black

looking good

a little progress has been made.



i'm a lot closer on the wiring, i just need to put the grounds in. wrapping will happen later, i like to make sure it works first.



we made flanges for the carb, it gets welded up in the next week or so



paul built me a set of K2 camber plates so i can get rid of the ground controls, although i did spend an afternoon aligning it already... oh well



what else? new upper hose is on the way, so i can put coolant in it.



brakes are in, clutch is in....



need to readjust the steering box, somehow i got more effort AND more play

I'm surprised you haven't forket out some money for that rack and pinion kit yet ... any reasons? besides maybe just price of it?

i wanna stay "vintage correct" like if mazda offered a sports kit in 1982. plus if you do it right (ive been there, just missed this time) you can actually get most of the play out of the box

I'm siding with Tyson in changing the header from 1764 vintage to something a tad more cleaner/modern https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif
