Well I kind of feel bad posting this only because I know there are a few people around here waiting for a truck load of big ticket items to be delivered and this is the last piece of the puzzle for me for now but here it is. Hood to air box seal showed up today from McMaster-Carr. I now have a positive seal around the air cleaner. Grand total for a minimum of 10' buy in..........35 bucks. :hapdance:

Big ticket items?? I've got to live vicariously through everybody else right now. Gaetano, you just got a new engine man, I'd say that's up there with big ticket items in my book. Air box seal looks good, to me the little details are just as cool as the big stuff.

Me neither Jer....it's on the list of things to do. I have the new 6AL box that MSD just came out with. It's a plug in deal and comes with extra wiring for longer runs. Eventually I will install it inside the car.





I promise I'll get you guys some vids. Between work, family, and the car things have been real busy. I'll be picking the car up this Saturday. Hoping to get the dyno vid at that time. I'll ask Vince to vid the fire up session before loading it in the trailor. Hell, if he'll let me I'll spin some brodies in the parking lot before she loads. :unibrow:



The air box is carbon fiber and came with a lid. It's one of those deals you'd see on a K&N or ARCA series car. I've was using it with the lid but this time around we installed a 2" HVH carb spacer so the hood wouldn't close with the lid. A few modifications later we were able to still use the pan. Now we just need to find or get the box to hood sealer.

Just to clarify, this is not a new engine, just a freshen up with new valves and a timing belt drive set up. : )

As much as I enjoy keeping Dave scratching his head the truth is the only work done to the heads were new valves and springs. We added the belt drive and retarded cam timing a bit to pick up a little more torque down low. Didn't touch the bottom end of the motor.
