velocity stacks
after sending in my measurements these showed up about a week later. would’ve like longer ones but these were the longest i could fit and still use a filter elements. they look so mean, i cant wait to hear it.
Painting the Fender Rails
after attending the vintage this past week it made me want to tidy up a bit. decided to go ahead and dress up the fender rails. i used http://www.automotivetouchup.com for a ready to spray can, came out great !
ITB : Sidedraft
been installing the throttle bodies over the last few days, i went with a TWM induction systems setup. little disappointed with fit issues needed to be addressed considering price point. a good bit of filing and some additional machining was needed.
after install i recorded data for the stacks based on clearances and have them on order.
below are some of the fit issues:
contact with tstat housing / hardware clearance.
saddle paint
this past week i was to the point i felt safe enough and far enough along to paint the radiator saddle.
motor shot
shot of the engine, using this for mapping out the EMS placement. and this is likely the last shot before the sidedraft install.
oil cooler and filter
got a remote mount adapter from the power plant. running inline peterson oil filter with mocal tstat. along with an earls cooler.
gold
after pulling the motor and accessories i por-15’d the engine bay and gave it the royal treatment.
