Here is my real scientific method of alighnment.


It really does not matter as long as the exhaust and drive shaft fit.


When I did the pistons I used a laser and levels.
Called Peter at Skater 30 times.

It really does not matter. The drives are 6 inches narrower
then the engines Squeezing the engines torward the tunnel
cuts it down a bit.

I will drill it last.

How long are the jack shafts ie: trans to drive flange ? tanks, J :woohoo:aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa cat's paw on the key board again/anyways cool paper blast off cover on the intake !

Drive shafts are two cv style joints 9 inches min. 12 inches max.

Just ordered Mobile Jet2 oil today.

Sumps look to be approx 3 to 4 gallons. maybe 2 quarts for
oil coolers.
Fuel pressure at the rails (nozzles)
200 to 230 psi.
Lift pump from gas tank approx 15psi

Would ya beleave I kept the circles.


Just thinking on coating the outer diamiter of the circles with
some West system with a little filler to thicken it
maybe put some Biaxle cloth on the inside.

Skim it with some Epoxy Filler on the outside.
Get Steve to come down with his airbrush
and finish my mess.

Or maybe I should just put smiley faces over them?
