...and finally, the mini'est of mini tubs

Pin height was too high by .125 so the piston was too low in the block and we did not want to change rods.

It's seriously starting to look like a race car.

You could always line bore the crank up
That's what happened to my Pontiac
then all you need to do is:
Find the shortest timing chain ever
cut the dizzy so it will go all the way down in the block
cut the starter so it will align with the flywheel

Just being a smartass... I hate when things are
off by just a little

Cool build.. can't wait to see it finished

Wow! Your car is looking killer! If I wasn't so stuck on keeping the rear seats I would of done the same set up.

Thanks for the update! This project is too cool! I dig the Watt's linkage adjuster. I thought the one I made for my sprint car was trick...it uses a track bar mount from a NASCAR left truck arm to adjust in 1/4" increments.

It's sort of funny seeing the rusty tin that's left up against brand new tube.

Nice work!
