Got my camera back and here are a few pictures of garage happenings. I'm buttoning up the motor with a new front over that I got from John B of all people in a nice transaction. Going mechanical pump so the new style cover, reverse rotation pump, and damper are all for sale. Funnelweb intake installed, billet MSD, expoy coil, etc - engine specs elsewhere.
The RCR adapter is a cool piece that is more than a transaxle/engine adapter, it also functions as a motor plate. Those long bolt tie into the chassis, and, there are two holes up top of that plate that tie into the chassis. Definitely will prevent pitch movement of the combination, as well as rotation around the crank axis. Made of aluminum for lightness and is still strong.
Tranny is located in my under house storage and is awaiting the dang Kennedy flywheel to finish all that up. Some more pictures too - the last remaining primer to remove - don't EVER spray your body with spray bomb primer! All the other parts are cleaned and cut for holes - brake ducts, lights, rear cut outs, etc. Still need to do sanding and shaping, but that is coming along.
Fran managed to fit the car with a rear tray which is cool, that was not planned but worked out. The rear tray holds the clip and is adjustable with those drag bars and heim joints. I imagine we can make some sort of under tray diffuser out of it if we've a mind too. Front 15" BRM from RCR shod with Hoosier DOT race tire and 6 pot caliper there too.
