Re: SteveB MDA MKII Build Diary

Chris
I've used the bellhousing and gearbox top as supplied by MDA to mount the engine, I have gone for a 347 Ford Racing unit as the option to build one appears to me to be confusing so many options!! Maybe later.
As it is a MKII that did not use multiple Webers I've opted to use the Edelbrock injection set up as it looks a bit like the four barrel carb but will give better management for emmissons control. I have worked out a simple fuel supply system for the feed and return to the tanks, there is a layout on the attached spreadsheet.
There is a photo of the layout that shows the rh tank return under the bulkhead window .

When I have a running chassis I wil start the bodywork, I hope it's not a mistake to build this way round, as I read that its better to fit the body when the fiberglass is still 'green' as you have.... we will see soon!
