Re: Crosseyed again...

Tom, just letting you know, the past few days I’ve had to login each time. It doesn’t remember me from day to day.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Thx for dropping it off Tom! I have a 21/64 drill bit in a typical length, so that should work out. I fashioned a drill guide that should ensure straight drilled holes. I’ll post pictures tomorrow when I go through it, had too many distractions today.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Tom, I need 5/16-18 helicoils, do you have that size?

Never mind, Autozone has them… :grin: 8-)

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

The motor is pretty well buttoned up at this point. Aviaid pan and water pump are installed. Crank, alternator and water pump pulleys are all nicely aligned after buying a 5/8” crank spacer to replace the previously installed 1/2” spacer. The AC brackets just need to be shimmed out 1/8” to be proper...

Re: Fuel injection upgrade

Nice looking throttle body and manifold, they go well with the valve covers.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

This is pretty much what can be seen of the damper and the timing marks…😏

I’d have to relocate the alternator with different mount brackets, and still not sure it would be much of an improvement because the hash marks are difficult to read even without being blocked by the alternator and brackets.

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Thx Ken. Yeah, the cap bolts are definitely more hefty than what I was expecting, probably a benefit of the Sportsman block. I’m pretty impressed with the motor overall, it should serve well in the GT. No, I haven’t determined true TDC, and I know I should, but without removing the heads, I was leer...
