You're a master of metal. Trying to wrap my head around how it bolts up to the headers. Too early in AM. Lots of 90* angles for the gases? What goes in the center gap? The exhaust note at 8k must be exquisite.

I think it’s a welding jig. It holds the flanges and pipes to get welded but not in the orientation for the car.

Just from the passes across the Columbia at Hood River. Too far away and I was a bit drunk at the time. Feeble memory IYCMMIYGMD.

Hey dude, wow...Congratulations! A quick question on the body work. Are those rear flares the original ones? And is it my imagination, or are those wider than the m471 supplied flares? Thanks and dang, congrats again.

Just an assmbley fixture that holds 3 components of the final exhaust/ not how they fit or appear on the GT.

What is the gauge set-up on the left? Is it a 911 gauge with separate gas gauge?

Appears to be something from the Zuffenhausen parts bin, in that 1969-70 911 period. Fuel gauge is a stand-alone VDO unit.

Paul...your eyes are not mistaken as these fenders were prototypes, hammered over bucks by hand. Slightly wider than the oe m471 stampings , and the lower contours a bit different as well.
I checked these against my black six , converted to GT tribute in late '80s, with Factory sourced panels; Fender flare profiles + width have slight differences. Thank you for your interest ¡

Thanks Marty, they look so cool and being original they give me permission to look closer at the pics and make my own copy. Fronts look close to the m471 flare.

Going into the transaxle overhaul this week, the gear sets that we discovered are; A,F,O,S,X ...perhaps factory set for the LeMans course (1970's). Also in there is factory limited slip. There will be several upgrades made, but keeping the tail shifter in place for its period correctness...it actually shifts pretty good !

I was setting up the 2 megaphones for marking L and R (letter punch) just before sending off for ceramic coating, and revealed these small center punch marks.
2 = R side , 1 = L side...who didn't know that ¿ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached Image

Gears A,F,O,S,X are a very interesting set. Almost like A&F are used to get out on to the track, and the rest are selected for the important sections. X seems a little short for the Mulsanne straight though.

Gear sets now utilized wil be A,F,M,S,X as the transitions are better. Our trans guru thinks along your same understanding, previous "O" gears set up for the certain areas of the track layout. Mulsanne Staight speeds ("X" gears) using almost all of the engine's 8k redline seemed reliable (on paper) for the 24 hour stretch. The recipe worked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For engine-dyno day I'll be using our 38mm i.d. GT merge collector style headers. The tube size matches the cyl exhaust ports, which are 38 mm as well...

The dyno shop will run the final muffler as well during tests.
We will ceramic coat all exhaust components afterwards; then make the final install after the drive train goes back into #40.

Cool stuff Marty - happy '21!

I agree an X top gear at 8K is about as fast or faster than you'd wanna be going in a non-aero 914 ... My current 5th is a V and that's ~135mph which is pucker time

My short gear box is AFMSX and long box is AFNSY. With 275-45/16 Hoosiers the car would top out at 150 and this was needed at Miller Motorsports (now UMC). My car never felt nervous or light at that speed. A little downward rake helps, I think. My crank fired ignition was set to 7500 cut off but I tried to keep my shifting to 7000 whenever I could.
