The 86 build-up

igotaneed4speed said:
I'm having some minor issues with clearance on things for some reason, some how it all started when 86coupe showed up :dontknow:. :chairfall


But the intake wouldn't fit down all the way it was hitting the lip on the heads, had to grind on my new intake :pissed:.

oil pan hits the girdle, tried three styles of rockers before one worked right; even so they might not last long being a 3\8" stud..

btw couple more pics

Had to do the same thing to my Super Victor. Called Edlebrock and asked WTF? They told me I had to grind it down.

yeah I'll be out there, I have to weld the inside of the oil pump up tonight and smooth it all out then should be able to button up the bullshit and drop it in.. Im just worried about the headers.. :pissed:

I had to grind so much off the pump to make it fit around the main stud that I ground right into the inlet housing. Other than that its ready to rock.

Headers fit much better than expected, ground clearance is some what to be desired but thats what ya get with 3/4" drop mounts.

For un-for seen transmission issues the car prob wont make it out this year..............

Pulled the pan off and all look o.k. was just going to throw a vb in and shift servo and hope for the best. Pulled the servo cover off and it was full of clutch material dust.. so much so it was like a paste.. :icon_frow

That's gotta be a downer for sure. So is it trash or can you save it?

Sorry to read about your heartaches with the engine as well, even so with that you built it faster then I ever could lol.
