Better rebalance the shaft after shortening it. Those weights may be meaningless after the surgery.

well finally got some nice weather and between yesterday and today got all the wiring done. all system seem to work fine so far. hopefully by the end of the weekend i will have it running. just got a few small things to finish up.

finally got the driveshaft done. that damn thing fought me the whole way. but in the end i think it turned out pretty good. one more thing off the list. the only things left on the list before i can drive it is: figure out how to get the heater hoses to work using the steel lines that are attached to the intake since im trying to keep this looking clean and minimalistic, and im waiting on the adapter for the hydraulic clutch hose that adapts from the quick disconnect to -6 AN but the back order keeps getting longer (thinking about making one), and i got custom power steering hoses made but the pressure line is too long so i gotta get it fixed. hopefully tomorrow i can get everything situated and finally get this thing runnin!

You can always make up an adapter to use with the factory plastic hard line. You can find what you need at any hardware store.

well i have a braided line thats AN on the master side cuz i planned on having the adapter. but i have to do some measuring and make a drawing and i may be able to machine myself one. if you got ideas on how to make it work w/ the braided line i have w/o the machining let me know, im open to any suggestions

finally got the engine running today! its kinda hard to see the timing marks to get it set right. but im gonna wait til i get the exhaust done this week and then set the timing. this may be a dumb question but where do you read the timing? the pointer has a spot that says "time", a line, and a circle, which do i use? but now the last thing to do is make the fitting for the clutch line and hopefully i can get that done tomorrow.

well its been a while but everything is basically done and i just finished making the shifter (not CNC). all i need yet is the exhaust, fix a brake line i broke, get the power steering pressure line fixed, and i just realized my alternator dont work and i cant return it, so im gonna ditch the 1 wire and go to 3g.
