Re: LHD Seven
The connector pipe between the header and muffler is done. I machined the hardware (with lock nuts) and made a gasket too.

Re: LHD Seven
I finished the header. Added the studs/washers/bolts to the head flanges as well as a gasket.
The welds were added to the joints where the tail pipe and connector pipe meet the muffler. The finished exhaust system. |

Re: LHD Seven
Thank You!
I got the ignition parts back from the grower. I'm impressed with what he could do with my files. The coil actually slides onto the mount as a full sized one would. I still need to make some hardware and the decals. |

A little paint and a couple custom made decals and they are coming to life.

Re: LHD Seven
Thanks! When I made the overflow tank I went minimalist and did it in 5 pieces.
Painted the fittings and assembled it… Made the overflow tank too. |

Re: LHD Seven
I milled the mounting hardware for the intake manifolds and then added them to the engine.
It's almost ready to install into the chassis. |

Re: LHD Seven
Very cool engine. All the little milled bits/bolts make it look like a real thing.

Re: LHD Seven
I installed the engine; it might stay, or it might have to come out if I can't get access to everything I need to attach to it…

Re: LHD Seven
I fully expect this to fire up and run when you're done, it's that detailed. Any idea what octane it will need to run on?
