I had seen that car at the salvage auctions. I am not sure how it got caved in. Maybe the heat did it or maybe it was in a garage that burned and something fell on it. Once they are burnt like that, they rust almost overnight. I have wondered about buying a burn car that is not so severely burnt. I wonder though how bad they're oil canned from the heat and the damage to the metal from being heated to that degree...

Maybe you need to flush the block. Was it stored with antifreeze in it or water? Maybe the jackets are all scaled up...

That innovate will be fine. You will need to get an exhaust bung welded into your exhaust system. If you have a 6-2-1 system, you may want two bungs one welded into each of the the two pipes. That will allow you to check the front carb and the back carb separately. I believe the innovates come with at least one exhaust bung...

I would reuse everything gaskets, bolts, etc. The time is cheap compared to destroying a freshly rebuilt engine

I would think $1000 is a vary reasonable price. I would expect a steep discount to buy a lot like this. If they want retail then they need to sell them individually...

In theory they will all be the same but sometimes cylinders vary a little bit after honing. It's cheap insurance while the motor is out to go ahead and check them all. Do you have a bore gauge to check run out?

I wondered about that too. 300 ft/lbs of torque through 205's

Wow. That's a ton of work. $58,500 I wish them well...

If you would just get a wideband O2 sensor you would have already fixed this issue!!!!

I'm liking that!

Is that your Ebay add?

That's a good looking motor! I don't know why but a sexy motor stirs something deep down in side me...

Did you look at the throttle plate screws?

Drums are surely sufficient for braking in the original form in all but extreme or track conditions, but disc are much simpler in many ways and don't need any adjustment. They are also much easier to visually inspect. They also have a nice visual aesthetic to them...

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I forgot to mention, no affiliation I was just browsing craigslist

Thanks, I just needed the "Hoover" to help me come up with the right search terms

I would think cold temperatures would make it less prone to spark knock...

Much better, thanks C

Is that a factory mirror on Cody's car? I would like to find another one like it for the other side...

I know a lot of people go the DIY chemical approach. I am not confident these solutions are that easy to reproduce, and Caswell support does make it easier to trouble shoot issues. I used a wire brush for a while but it is very labor intensive and difficult to do small bolts without launching them across the shop. I also think the wire wheel is much easier to contaminate versus the bead blaster. I was using a wire wheel after the blasting cabinet for a while but you have to use a light touch. The wood is from a house I built last year. We took about 50 trees off the lot. Some pretty large. I found a sawyer to cut up four large pieces for me. I gave him the rest of the logs. There are two poplar logs that were about 24" across and two maple logs that are smaller. It needs another year or two of air drying before they are eligible for some wood working projects

I couldn't get to it... and is that a pdf link, because I can't highlight it...

@NVZEE Where are you sourcing all the excellent diagrams?

Would some or all of that slack not be taken up by the oil pressure moving the chain adjuster????

This is how it currently sits. It runs and he has been driving it to work some. We have had a loss of power problem recently. I took the carb off and checked it and we don't seem to be loosing fuel flow. So I suspect water in the fuel. So we added some gas dry. We have the hatch off right now and we are working on getting it changed over to orange. We are doing all the individual panels one at a time then we will pull all the remaining glass and spray the body of the car and have the headliner redone and reinstall the glass. WE can get away with this because it is a solid color and if you shake the paint well, the colors should match ok. This way he can drive the car as we paint it. Instead of breaking it down for years like I have done with my projects. Plus it has the added advantage of being the only car like this for 100 of miles. So if he acts stupid I will probably hear about it.. He has also grown some in the time we've had the car...
