Engine should be here this week

I talked with Lance at Keith Craft Racing. He said my engine is done and will be coming to STL with Keith for Run N Gun. It turned out great--so good that they will be using photos of it on their website. It reached 378 horsepower and 369 foot pounds of torque when they put it on their dynamometer.

I also finished up the brake and battery lines during this past week. Not too much involved there. A few clamps, some routing, and wrapping some potential rub spots in rubber hose.


In addition to getting the engine, I will probably get the rear tires mounted and maybe get all 4 wheels put on the chassis. I have to buy lugnuts. Then it will be on to polishing the aluminum firewall pieces before starting to put them together. That is a fairly time-consuming step.
