I posted this on Narp during the "Great Divide." I am now getting ready to start this project so I figured I'd post here, with the additional suggestions from the folks on Narp.
I picked up a 1911 motor from Grimstead a few weeks ago. I will be replacing my stock 1.7 with the 1911. I also have a set of 44 idfs for that motor too. So while I am going to swap this motor, I figured I'd check to see what else I should do "while I am in there?" If anyone knows the ball park costs for some of these items, please list it too, as it will help me budget. I don't want Dirk Wright disease, but I want to take care of any maintenance items while I have the old motor out and am prepping for the new one. clutch fuel lines tranny mounts new fuel pump - CB Rotary $60 various jets, and venturis for tuning the carbs - based upon recommendations (32 chokes) cv gaskets red loctite (something I need to get for all of this) trans mainshaft seal and cup bushing in the TOB arm... new bolts for the flywheel if you have it off A type 1 oil pump that has already had the shaft milled is a great investment if you want to upgrade your oil system & seals. Check the CV joints and repack them. Rebuilt alternator (I have a new starter) Check that right rear suspension point where the trailing arm pivots. Thats below the battery tray and corrodes from the inside out. $?? do andy's jumper wire at the engine relay board to power the pump. Help me out fellas! Thanks, Joe |

This might be going a little overboard, but I have mine out right now, and I'm planning on installing a new alternator while it's out. For all I know, it's the original, it's gonna fail sometime, and I'd rather change it now while the engine is out and it's easily accessible.

Mine has been through a solvent tank, a fire, a big red dishwasher type engine cleaner, a hose washing the fire extinguisher crap out of it, lots of rain (no engine lid), spiders setting up shop in it, and it's growled since I got the car, but it still hasn't quit working. |
