Finaly worked on my car

Yes it is wider than stock. I forget how much shim I have under each cylinder. I have it writen in my notes but I am at work right now. It is somewere close to .100" per jug. There is no step in the heads so that ads to the shim size too.

I was able to modify a Scat linkage kit and fab a bracket to mount the center bellcrank to. It looks like it should function better than the other dog legged center pull linkage I have and look cleaner than the hex bar set I have.


I also relocated my center console and fitted the new Bug Tech shifter.


I got the engine up on the test stand but when I went to mount the exhaust, it hits the stand frame. I will have to pull the engine back off and re-engineer the test stand frame. That will have to wait as I am back to work tomorrow and then off to Mexico again for a relaxing week in the lap of luxury before Herbie X comes back to us for some upgrades.

I like the center console setup, looks sharp. Hows the feel of that shifter?

Herbie X and upgrade are two words I never thought I'd hear together.

Dont forget! Bottled water and no ice in the drink!

The shifter is the bomb. I really like it. Too bad I had just bought a CSP before Markus talked to me about them.
Herbie X comes to visit us on a regular basis. This time it will be for some bigger brakes, a Bug Tech shifter and I think he wants some more horsepower.

This will be our 3rd trip to this place in 16 months. Their ice and all the water in the bars/restaraunts are bottled go thru an R.O. system before serving. The shower and sinks do not.
