Started the '73 after it had been sitting for nearly 2 months... felt good driving it around the block but with temps nearly 110 it won't get driven much for a while!!
My '71 is being delivered by way of Reliable tomorrow morning to AZ from IA... look forward to having them together. Hopefully they'll mate...

Starting to dig in on my late 80s Corvette engine that I am going to hot profile cam and trick rockers and Holly FI.

Bought a stand and next is pulling off the aluminum heads as some grinding is necessary to clear for the new hotter valve geometry. If I stay stock in size it should put out 400 FT LB if I bore and stroke to 383 it should put out a lot more. The Holly can handle 600 HP and the factory 930 LSD transmission can handle all of that.

I was told that this Engen is new everywhere and I will find out.

Ordered my John Langfelder book on building a hot stepping GM 8 and also bought a couple more on SBC building.

I have built a few 911s, a couple of 914-4s and more than a few motorcycles. It has been a long time. My thinking is screw it, I can do it.

Getting ready to mount on engine stand. When I bought it from an engine guy back east he said it was built for a hot rob guy and had a TPI injection and all accessories where powder coated in a chrome like finish. The clean pushrods and assembly have assembly grease on theme. Going in deeper.

It did not come with wiring for Eng. and I sold the TPI clean like new with powder coated bright finish on it for $400.

I saw them load our 962 and Mirage like that. 3 mill worth of cars that look like they might roll off the back any minute.

When I sold my 73 1.7FI project, this is how it was pick up. Scary since the car does not have good brake.

Had my starter rebuilt. Took a few minutes to figure out where that nut and bolt is in the engine compartment. Now it starts every time. Went for a ride at 6:15 this morning to beat the Southern California heat.Attached Image

I worked on the final layup on the carbon fiber back-pad.... quite an extended esoteric project but the mold is good to go and the first pull from it comes off tomorrow am after the evening cure. My goal is to have a nice back-pad of CF that will support sound deadening material on its backsides and allow for quick access to the 914-6 hatch on the unibody steel firewall (already installed) = Esoteric because once the Clewett crankfire ignition was installed, the need to check timing at the crank pulley became a thing of the past / The Clewett system is dead-on-balls-accurate.... an industry terrm....

Wired up the Honda ECU and all the new relays needed for the fuel pump and fans. Hopefully Friday night I can install the cooling hoses and test fire the motor. (Open headers of course)

Drove the '71 to a coffee group this AM and a lady pulls up next to me at a light and says she loves my 914 and that she lost hers in a flood in Pennsylvania. Asks if I'm a PCA member and probably would have kept talking but the light changed. She was in a RAV 4... nice to be noticed among all the new fancy stuff in Scottsdale!!

i prepped the window apperture with primer ready to fit the new windshield when the butyl tape arrives. i fitted the trim clips with a little panel adhesive in the hole to help prevent rust.

i also refurbed the Lecarra steering wheel, that's curing in readiness to refit tomorrow.

i also stripped the multiple layers of paint off the trunk latch, think i'm just going to some silver vht that i have left over.

ran out of time but will be back on it tomorrow.
