G86.20 Boxster S 6 speed. With the AP design rear suspension, there are a few challenges but the biggest positive was the cost and gear ratios with the extra gear. The biggest negative is that the engine sits about another inch or so higher (the transaxle drain plug is the lowest point) as the...

Time for the mock up motor to come out and the 347 stroker to get mated (although not final) and ready to check final fit with it in its final form. I also needed to clearance the starter with the Kennedy Engineering Products adapter plate. A small albeit time consuming job of using a burr...

Have you set it on its wheels and adjusted its ride height? After that is done then a four wheel alignment and check of the wheelbase from side to side is necessary before looking at those panel alignment/adjustments.

Well the heart of the beast has been completed and bought home. 347 Stroker (SCAT) with Edelbrock RPM heads, spicy roller cam, Aviaid oil pan, FMS shorty water pump, and modified and leveled aluminum intake. Tried my set of cast GW valve covers on and discovered three things. One, the bolts...

Those molds on FB are in the UK but might be worth the shipping to bring them over to the east coast.

I just did on all the groups I’m a part of yesterday.

SOLD!

Rick you are the man! Keep up the great work and and I appreciate all the work I know you are doing for this event. I know from being the Airshow Director for two different events how much work it is!

It would help if you would identify in your profile and post where you are from so someone in your country/continent can better suggest sources.

Yes I see those, but the backside of the tumbler/mechanism isn’t friendly to modification being pot metal and not a bolt-on actuator. If I have to, I’ll try to make something “work” but isn’t ideal and really a $50+ gamble. Plus the back of the Weston lock is threaded and secured with a nut...

What’s a good source for for these locks now that SouthernGT isn’t around? I’m in the US so would prefer something here vs the overseas shipping & additional cost/wait time.

Well done!

New - never installed Aviaid 6.5” deep wet sump road race oil pan for 351W (#55363). My loss is your gain. Changed my plans so won’t be using this one…comes with the oil pickup tube as well. Asking $550 shipping included (US only). Will send back to manufacture by the end of next week if it...

Took another bite of the “elephant” today…it’s been a big stumbling block in the unknowns of custom car building. Today I finished the final construction of the door hinges. To make things more difficult, I not only wanted them to be functional but easily adjustable as well as accommodate easy...

Any updates Joe? Always like to see another AP build progressing to help with ideas I’m wrestling with.

Joe I’m using Total Boat epoxy resin and combine it with the West 403 Silica to thicken as needed and a variety of fiberglass matting depending on the size and strength of the repair needed. Once shaped after curing, I’m using a light weight body filler that has fiberglass strands to get the...

You are exactly right Randy…Ford Super Duty trucks in particular are the most popular vehicle using this design and have an offset shim (hole within a round peg essentially) of varying sizes that also can be used to fine tune the camber alignment. Not a bad design but a pain to get a different...

Last few of 1016…hard to get as many as I did with the crowd of people around her.

Sorry some of these were turned upon uploading.

Just happened to be in McPherson KS last weekend at the McPherson College annual car show and got the awesome opportunity to see P1016 in person! What a treat to see it in the wild and on the grounds of one of the unique auto restoration degree programs in the US. Let me know if anyone wants...
