Bob Thanks for the input Mark Workman also sent me your e-mail address.
Currently the engine is still on the engine stand. A friend of mine, Mike Dickerson who runs Maddog Racing is helping me with this project. I will discuss the issues you brought up with him this evening.
So far the only real problem has been the headers. Some of the other little things are as follows.
We ordered Rods and Pistons from Probe. The rods were Cleveland Length but Windsor rod Journal Size. The Pistons varied drasticly in weight, But that all is .
Next we went to degree the cam, after assembling the engine and it was way off, it seems the crankshaft key that had been in the engine decided to round off. Glad we found it before the dyno.
So it has been fun. On the mounts how did you arrive at the measurments for the mounts. So as to get the proper engine height.
Also currently we are using an after market deep oil pan and that is where we are running into clearance problems. When this is fixed we will attempt to put it into the car.
