Slow build 71 Scamp 440

looking good
without looking back has the motor been broken in? if not i'd do that before getting the headers coated in case the process damages the coating.
neil.

Will fire them up with the headers on and then take them to get stripped and coated. They are in poor shape as it is. Nice ceramic coat in there future. With the solid roller cam it shouldn’t be to bad.

Well that’s it for mounting. A little sketchy **** going on but it should hold (hold together baby)

Need to trim up these Moroso wires. Holy moly it looks like spaghetti!!

Ordered the fuel cell and a couple of plumbing items to wrap that piece up.

Should have a battery next days off and then we’ll get that ignition and power wrapped up.

I’ve decided on a champion 26” rad with with dual fans. We’ll get that ordered in the new year. Also the little things that need to be finished.

Fan belt, shorter bolts for the water pump fan delete. throttle return, throttle connection, collectors, mufflers.

We’re actually moving pretty fast now all things considered.

Space also acquired to do the transplant this spring/summer.
