This is the bare bones list of what I need to get it running.. for sevenstock.. Not show worthy, but Driveable.. Maybe a New coat of Primer is needed too...

That's pretty cool. My sevenstock project needs similar amounts of work and time.

So .. Anything missing from my list.. I wanna make sure I get it all..

looks good, you have what? 3 months



mike

yup 3 months to get it running. with my expertise in supervising, it should be no problem

I've always said it will take me 3 months to get my 20B project to where it's drivable. It'll actually never be finished you know. There's always something to do.



Let's get crackin'!

work faster! :whip:

WELL.. I went to the shop today to get a quick look at stuff. I am also considering notching the front cross member to mount the engine as low as possible.. Think thats a good idea?

My REPU has a very heavy exhaust system consisting of six Rotary Engineering glasspacks (two longs, four shorts) and a couple of RX-7 driveshafts as pipes (full length primaries with an H connection about where RB headers would normally Y together). It's grossly overdone and quite heavy. Anyway, all that weight on my old tired motormounts was enough to allow the pan to torque down and hit the crossmember. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png Or maybe it was simply engine torque?



My advice is to not even bother, since it's already pretty close stock. [hint] I want you to get your truck done quickly! [/hint] I'll be cutting my exhaust in half and leaving only three glasspacks on the truck and using two or three on the GLC. I only really need one if my header collects early, as in my MG. It's only got a single long glasspack with a very short header and a Monza dual tip at the end with little glasspacks in it. It's only a little louder than my REPU, and my REPU is not all that loud.



Both exhausts were done over 10 years ago, when RE was still in business. Man, I wish I could get me some new glasspacks. Somebody out there ought to get the patent and start producing these things again. They're that good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

The problem with my truck is that the original ngine mount crossmember was cut off by the previous owner... so since I have to make custom mounts.. I was thinking Imight as well Locate the engine in its lowest possible position..
