ALL threaded connections is what Im shooting for
Ill be back later with some pics
I was gitty cause I just finished welding them all so i had to post up

[dub tek]

Ross Machine Racing Intake
Upper Water Flange > -20AN








Griffin RAD
I added matching -20AN fitting on it as well








Made a bracket for the 4 post waste spark coil pack
Plan is to mount it to the bottom of the intake






PCV "vent" made from a 16v dizzy block off plate






Fuel Rail





Sorry for the sh!!tty phone pics....
but it keeps it easy

[dub tek]

Ill have the car back at the end of the month

Then the floors, wheel wells, front strut brackets, roll cage, and brake pedal bracket will get welded

[syracusegli]

[BROsiah]

[dub tek]

This could happen once Im driving my car again

looking good jeff

Just wish I had more free time
However its not coming back to the house once the blaster is finished

[dub tek]

Ordered some supplies from online metals
3/16ths' Chromoly Plate for the front control arms
TWO 1.5X2.5X13" @ 3/16ths' for the last of the structural framing
TWO 1/2X1/2X24" @ 1/8th wall for the tilton pedal bracket


Found the proper hardware at McMaster Carr
Fine thread 3/4-16 Shouldered - Washered Hex - 1 5/16" - Grade 12.9 - "Hot Dipped"
AND some hardened grade 12.9 Drive Axle > Output flange Allen bolts


Now if I could only make some sense of 2.25" AND 2.75" Hydraulic fittings/hoses

I though I was going for it with AN fittings on all my fuel lines & swirl pot - you're REALLY going for it with the coolant too - love it! Inspirational!

Following your progress with the control arms Are they 'just' some sort of conventional turnbuckles - not a critiscism - just wondering if I can do the same...

[crsmp5]

sorry to be a arss... but the pvc/distributer block off i doubt will work.. is there not a oil passage for the cam there? if so will it not fill that pipe with oil?

just gotta ask..

What you see there is some of the required raw materials
Ill have some pic up when i get to building those

And yea thats just a turnbuckle for now

Valid point chris
I was concerned about it when I ran it on the previous setup....... ZERO issue for me
I have it plumbed direct from there to a "T"
One of the other sides is from the PCV plate on the front of the block
The outlet side of the "T" fitting then went to the catch can....

The new plan is to use THIS and ditch the catch can if possible
Theres MUCH talk on if it works or not... Good or bad or not...
Im going to try and see if it works for me
Ill adjust as needed once its up and running if its an issue

[the_mad_bastard]

nuts. simply nuts.

i'm glad to see so many high quality mk1 builds happening!

[BMP20th]

needs more updates.....


i'm looking at lots of eye candy on the bench.
