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 |

Clutch cable?
Accel cable? speedo cable? If you do one you might as well do all cv washers? shifter bushings? Make sure you have someplace to connect your breather hoses distributor for the carbs? patrick |
