Hi Bill- We have made some significant progress. I am hoping to have my Six back at Jim's (Justice League) in about 2 weeks. We had a clutch/flywheel issue that had to be sorted. I was on the phone with Jim Patrick at PMS and I believe the problem has been handled and the parts are on the way to Aase and may arrive today. It's always something, right?

Did you have fitment issues with the PMS clutch conversion parts from KEP,seems to be an issue that others in the past have had to face this.
Just asking as I see a bigger motor in my future with 9 bolt flywheel.
Your car looks SO good,you must be looking forward to first engine start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) ,was a big event for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) .

Thank you. According to PMS, Kennedy had to pull the ring off the flywheel and chamfer the edge down and reinstall the ring. Not a big deal and hopefully that solves the problem. I will post when it goes back together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

As you all likely know, sometimes stuff happens beyond our control. We had two significant delays on this restoration, the most significant was discussed in Part 1. The second came when my Six went to have the engine/transaxle installed and a medical issue caused a several months delay. I had no problems with that because that was no one's fault and it had a happy ending, fortunately. The good news is that we seem to be back on track and the light is bright at the end of the tunnel.

I recall seeing a few pics of the 3.2 installed in the engine bay.
Any pics or updates?

Maybe you can post a few pics of the engine installed ( I searched but couldn't locate it). I believe someone asked about a breather hose on the engine. I have a similar question as to where you got it from.

Thanks,

Hi guys - Thanks for checking in on my Six. Yes we have made progress, significant progress actually. The engine is in and running. The car is back with Jim, and he has driven it to the alignment shop and back. We are still sorting little things like calibrating the GPS speedo. I have asked Jim to put a couple hundred miles on it so we can be sure it is all working as intended. Then it goes back to Aase for a quick check-up and oil/filter before it goes to Kent for a final polish. I am pretty darned excited as the light at the end of this tunnel is right in front of us now. Here are a few pictures:

OK, the engine is in and running. We still need to fab up an adapter to fit the stock Motronic air filter housing and snorkel.

Here is it at the alignment shop getting 4-wheel alignment.

It is sitting low in the rear so we need to raise it so the rear is about 1/4" higher than the front and I think that will be good. Of course the rockers, valances, and engine lid needs to be fitted still.

Oh, I believe the breather hose was sourced by Aase Motors. If you tell me specifically which hose you are talking about, I can check through my receipts for a part number and provider. If you want to PM me that is probably easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
