 And...we're off! The goal: Build a 2056 from a 1.8L jet. We'll use the 1.8 Case and Heads, new 96mm P&C's, Raby Cam & Valvetrain kit, and, for the moment, put an Ljet or Djet back on it. Eventually it'll get dual carbs, but I can't drop the extra G just yet. I'll include as manay pics as I can. I got a little ahead of the camera with this so the engine is already out of the car, the tranny and exhaust are off and these pics show the rats nest (Ljet, harness, vacuum), throttle body, intake runners and right side tin coming off. Had to use the cell phone cam for these, future pics will be better. |

GREAT!
It is really hard to stop and take the pictures when you are making progress AND too filthy to touch the camera (or phone especially) I even put my oldest dig camera in the garage and still don't document all the stuff I do. Good luck with the engine. Sounds like a good plan. Take your time, and check then recheck everything. Keep those pictures coming! |
