Some progress since last time:

Painted the block, heads and pan and has mounted the accessories (water, fuel, electric, belts, blower pulley, etc). We are rebuilding the fuel system to AN-10 from the fuel pickup (the pickup is 5/8" in diameter) through the fuel pump and to the fuel filter, and AN-8 from there to the fuel regulator and to the fuel block.

The fuel lines were AN-8 with a couple of drilled 90deg fittings that we have changed to 45deg tube fittings and are doing our best to avoid 90's.

Some progress since last time:

Had to order the push rods from the states since noone seems to keep one of the lengths we need. They will be sent from Autoshop Racing engines in FL today and we will get them on friday if the customs treat them well...

Other than that things are rolling...

Mounted the carbs and flame arrestors yesterday so the engine is now about an 20cm even higher...

Hopefully it will fit under the hatch, but if it won't - it's fixable.

Just some hoses left now besides the pushrods and jesels. :drink:
