Yes, one complete motor project has been sold. That motor is in the final assembly stage, should be completed shortly, then will be engine dyno'd on the old Drake dyno. The project has been fully photographed and documented as it proceeds. Video footage will be taken on the dyno.

Once the project is completed, I'm sure the owner will post the pictures and video. Stay tuned until then.

[g60vw]

What what what?!?! In for info.

If it's of any consolation to anyone, I've saved all the pics and can/will host them when needed.

If anyone wants copies (compressed zip file) just shoot me a PM.

[PencilGeek]

any updates yet?

The bottom end is complete. Crank, rods, pistons installed. Block painted, oil pump installed, oil pan installed. Next task: assemble and install the Drake 16v head. We're shooting for early October for head installation (schedules all conflicting until then).

Stay tuned.

[Gonzo@GonzoTuning]

[PencilGeek]

Could someone PM me with info?

[PencilGeek]

PM sent.

[max and tiny]

is there still heads for sale?

[PencilGeek]

is there still heads for sale?

Yes, there's still 4 or 5 heads available for purchase. If Stewart runs out, then he owns all of the molds and CNC programming to make new ones.

Even though any purchase would have to be negotiated directly with Stewart, I'm sure I could answer almost any technical question that might come up. So if you want to start by contacting me to see if I can answer your questions, you're welcome to do so.

You're welcome to PM me, and I'll give you my phone number or private email address. We can then discuss it further.

The current project is coming right along.

Everyoen wants to ask...its been over 3 months since your last posting...what is the outcome?

Since no original intake manifolds were still available, new ones had to be cast from the original molds. That took a lot longer than expected. But they are now cast, machined, and ready to use.

As of today, the motor is assembled. Now comes the tedious part of getting the correct accessories on the motor for the customer's car (correct water pump, alternator assembly, etc.). It's not hard, just time consuming and sometimes requires making custom brackets.

I know the owner plans to have his own build thread. I've already given him a few hundred pictures of the build in process. You'll just have to wait a little while longer until he does the big showing.
