We were finishing up a sim center down there and hopefully this will be one of the last trips I had to make. It's a good thing I went too and not my Father, as the day before I left, he was having problems with his Kidneys (he has chronic Kidney stones). Here's a few pics from the 'family business'. We design and manufacture driving simulators and on this project, our customer was the Panamanian government for whom we built 12 Volvo Bus Simulators for there public transit system. They are updating their Public transportation system and use our simulators for evaluation and training of new drivers. It's not our 'Race Division' but it was certainly a cool project building this sim center complete with a conference room, multimedia class-room, and 12 sim labs. I Hope someday the US gets on track with driver training through simulation.

Ordered a leakdown tester from the Snap-On rep, and I'm very happy with the results, which lead me to believe this engine is pretty 'fresh'...

What a fun work day driving cars with my Dad and Grandfather. The Production company is called KwikFilms, and they do great work for events, products, and even personal cars. Some of their short videos are just awesome and very reasonably priced....

Trying to figure out if I want to paint the shrowd.... Did a semi mock-up today. I'm thinking maybe grey, or just leaving it, but the fan is definitely being painted black.

Yeah, I might color match the orange, but it's in pretty good condition and I like the green as a 'nod' to history.

Since I'm switching to carbs from CIS, and seeing as how I don't want to recurve my distributor, I added the nozzles for the vacuum advance. Luckily, the manifolds I was going to use originally already had the outlets for them, and I just happened to find another set of manifolds that look to be in better condition with (factory) coating on them? It's really very simple, just drill the hole (I think it's about 1/2' and the smaller is 1/8) and then tap the threads.

The guy who rebuilt them forgot about the immolation tubes as well as the squirters, so I had to grab them from another set that we bought that turned out to have a huge crack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Re-assembled them, and I was going to go with the stock covers, but those K&N Cleaners look SO cool!

Enrique Allen Mar Group: Members Posts: 2,220 Joined: 28-August 08 From: San Diego, CA Member No.: 9,478 Region Association: Southern California	I'm a sucker for new engine bits..... as meaningless as they may be..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1300330867.1.jpg) My current headache, the new engine mount. I THINK I have the Rich Johnson mount, but I'm not sure as we found it on eBay. Today was spent reading other peoples threads, figuring out the height, and researching. To add on to that, now that the 4 cyl is gone, I really have no excuse to start hacking away... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1300330868.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i16.photobucket.com-9478-1300330868.3.jpg) Regardless of which mount I have, I'm not about to unplug everything just to get it into that mount, so I'm fabbing up a sort of 'bridge' like I've seen in other mounts, so I can simply lay the mount on top and start welding away....

In a 'well while I'm here' move, we also welded up the seems on the mount.... that thing isn't going anywhere....
