Me too.
Credit card! The American way.

Here are the custom Turbine sump tanks.

They hold the turbine oil and they mount directly to the
turbines.

I decided to put the buffer to them and shine them up.

Before and after pictured.

Also shown is the assembled crash boxes showing the
calipers with new brake pads.

What day do you expect the engines and how did they ship them. When I had to ship my motors to Gellner I couldn't find a shipper that would insure them for more than 5000 each. We wound up driving them out and back ourselves.

Yes this is the truth. Shipping insurance is maxed out at
5.00 per lb. on used goods. Atleast with Freight ABF.

I hate to even think about never mind post it on here.

Here I my engines When I shipped them.
Dean actualy gave me the idea for the tiedowns.

Alot of balls and no brains:D

Tommaro I will buff the intakes and install the trans/crashboxes.

I took some quick measurements

Lenth:
The original holes on the engine mounting rails are 36 inches
away from the # 6 flange.
Measured from the first bolt hole.
The first bolt hole on the "can" mount on the turbine is 5.5
inches from where the bell housing mounts.The crashbox
is 19.5inches the drive shaft is 10 inches compressed.
This totals to 35 inches.

Height:
The centerline of the turbine ouput shaft to the bottom of the
"Can" (Container) mount is 7.5 inches.

When laying a flat edge on the engine rails in the Skater
and measuring 7.5 inches up with a straight edge centered
to the # 6 flange it is quite level.

Jim took the time to label where everything goes.

That way any brain dead geek can install it.


Looks like I am going to need some O-ring to flare
double male adapters.
These are the fittings similar to what is used on Aeromotive
fuel pumps.
They are used on just about all fuel and oil connections
going to and from the turbine.
