This is where I'm at so far. Got the valve train mocked up and the stock pushrods are too long. Probably longer cam followers and a bit more lift on the #73 cam vs. stock. I'll deal with that on the weekend.
I did manage to pickup some Bus hydraulic solid spacers for the rocker assy. That will make me feel a heck of a lot better than with springs. Back to the 911 adjusters. I've got lash caps, but no room for them, if I use them at all. From what I've read, the gap on this setup can be pretty tight. We'll see how it goes. Oh yeah, and I did pick up that '74 Aubergine (Eggplant) this week. Drives and everything. I'll post some pics on the weekend. What a pretty color for this car. Needs a wet sand and buff out.

I drove the Eggplant as hard as I could over the weekend (just in our neighborhood since it's got no current tags, or functioning brakes).
There is also no seal between the edge of the engine shelf and tin. In some areas no shelf either. No wonder it got so hot, it can't cool right. And it was about 150 degrees in the cockpit, no wonder. With no proper cooling, it shouldn't be driven. So, I'll just park it for a while. I took a bunch of pictures this weekend, so I'll try and post them later. |
