Project FNQUIK

Before I left for Va. I ordered a Finch fuel/rear end, overflow canister to vent my fuel tank. It came in while I was away. It looks like a nice piece.

Looks good Wayne!


Don't forget to pack that Finch Fuel vapor filter with activated charcoal.....

Finally got in the garage for a while this morning. We put some fluid in the converter and installed it on the trans. Then we dropped the motor back in it. It's been in and out so many time I think it knows the way on its own. This is the firs ttime in quite a while you can walk without feeling like your driving through the cones.

I got the headers bolted up yesterday. Then I put the oil filter back in to measure for the oil cooler lines. I made up the return line from the oil filter to the motor. I bought a kit to pressure test the hoses before I put them in, so I did the hose and left it over night. Still pressurized this morning. Good to go.

Not much to see but here's the hose



The headers bolted up.



Bolted up the starter too.

Wow! Looking good! Your headers are woven nicely into the engine bay.. looks tight to the control arm, but it all fits and looks great. The FINCH canister is a great addition... I gotta get mine ordered as well! I had one in JADED and it solved two problems very elegantly!

The car is looking great and I love the progress. Keep knocking things down in chips like that and you'll be driving in no time!

Looks great Wayne. I had a set of headers done in the same coating, but in flat black, many years back. They were rough to the touch as well, and oddly enough the coating flaked after one race weekend. Took them back, and they recoated them in the ceramic/ aluminum look, ( different material altogether) and never had any other issues out of that set. Hopefully they figured out the issues since then, and yours will be fine.
This is the final install this time for the engine, I presume? You'll be driving it before you know it.

I have some nice valve covers for you

[waynieZ]

JJ I'd love some nice valve covers but my wife overheard me talking about Granitelli wires and surprized me with a set last Christmas, so there won't be any relocating of coils for this motor, not with what she paid for these wires!

I was out in the garage for a while today and test fit the oil lines to the remote filter and when the radiator support goes back in I'll plumb the oil cooler in the Radiator.

This was the idea I had when it was on the engine stand.



Here it is installed loosely. They are not as tight to the oil pan as they look.





They clear all hot or moving parts. They will also have a hose seperator bolted to the block to keep them safely away from everything.



In this picture you can see the aluminum piece bolted to the block, there is also a bolt hole right below it. I will drill and tap the aluminum for the hose seperator.



Here you can see the room I have.



The return line is connected to the filter the long hose will be secured to the frame or inner fender on its way to the bottom of the in radiator cooler.



Then its to figure the routing of the discharge from the cooler to the in side of the filter.
