1078 Build Info / Site

[MFE III]

Mechanical linkage is high on my list of post-completion projects! With that in mind, I purposely installed my cable so that other than the hole the cable exits thru the front of the footbox, there are no other holes or mounting holes for it.

[size=16]Today was/is a huge milestone. Hit the ignition switch for the first time and she sprang to life.[/size]

I built the motor from the ground up so the sphincter muscle was puckered pretty tight. Big Block FE - 431" - TriPower - Hydraulic Roller Cam/Roller Rockers - all the goodies.

I can't wait to get the spinners tight and take it out go-karting. Some little minor annoyances (cheap chinese import ignition switch failed, minor coolant leak) hopefully I won't find any major annoyances. Was really worried about 45 year old carburetors working but they did what they are supposed to.

Congrats . . that is a huge and memorable milestone. Now the fun stuff . . go-karting!

Matt,
May I borrow your "hall pass" to take my car out? The police leaving city hall go right past my house. I'm gonna need a "get out of jail Free card"

Paul, congrats, now you need to borrow a flatbed farm truck and find some "B" roads.

[MFE III]

Don't need no stinkin' Hall Pass!!  I think I'm gonna have to change my oil and replace rear tires before I go to paint!    Which, by the way, my car is scheduled to be admitted into the Batcave (Jeff Miller's) next week!!

She's been to the Go-Kart stage for a few weeks now, I just had to take her out for a short ride.

Looks great Paul!  Can't wait for mine to get that far.  unfortunately I ran into an issue with the rear end.  Now i have to fix that before moving on and it will take a bit.  But, hey this is part of the build process I guess.

Nice job!
