Great build, I'm impressed with the fab work. Sure hope it does what you expect it to do Seems like a very small engine. There is a Nova somewhere with a full Cummins/Dodge 6 cyl. that's pretty neat. My choice would have been a Duramax, just to keep it GM. Keep the thread going, yes we are watching... LOL

Thanks for the support. The project lives on, but I've been traveling for work and battling a serious lack of motivation the past few weeks. Next few weeks I'm going to be in France for reasons that still aren't entirely clear to me... but I can't turn down a trip like that. Should be a little more interesting than my previous destination of Oklahoma.

It'll probably be October before I'll be able to put much time into this project again. I've been getting the hydraulic clutch set up along with the new brake master cylinder- converting this car to 4 wheel manual disc brakes. I don't want a booster or vacuum pump. Ultimately I want this car to be able to run without any electricity whatsoever.

Thanks. It's been a *strange* few months to put it mildly, but a good few months. No time for an update at the moment, but I can say that the title is now in process.

I hope all is well with the build. The ingenuity and wit of the build and write up are great. Can't wait to hear how it ends up.

Awesome build. How did this end up working out. I’ve recently acquired 7 of these motors looking to do something with them
