Sure I'd done another update since November but it isn't here now, 4 link is now completed, painted etc all back on its wheels, and put the motor and trams in on Saturday, I'll get some pictures resized shortly

Excellent, Jerry - are you retaining the standard EFI or have you found a carb / manifold option?

Stock efi Pete, if your using a carb and manifold you may as well use a 440, the drivability etc of the new motor comes with the modern electics. Not easy, cheap or to everyone's taste but 450-500hp and 20mpg is not possible with a carb as you know

Steadily making progress, mounting the trans was a lot bigger job than expected, we had to cut the trans tunnel out and modify the cross member/bracing, here are a few pics showing the new cross member and the floor tacked back in, you can see the traction control/abs sensors mounted to the back of the trans, and the tone ring is mounted between the output shaft and the prop, we are using the stock 300c front half of the prop with a centre bearing with a modified rear section with a uj, we now have everything for the motor, so hopefully should be able to test fire in the next few weeks then carry on building everything up

That will be an absolute Killer car when its done.

Love it

Cheers Pete, it's no small task but the light is starting to appear at the end of the tunnel, I'll be much happier when the motor has fired, having never heard it run
