I have never seen a fan with that steep of a pitch either . Must be some top secret race stuff and is made from prefabulated amulite or something . Or perhaps the builder used that type so the blades wouldn't go thru the bonnet when they fly off.

 :lmao:

Also notice the "auxiliary" fan belt sheaves . If the other one wears out in the middle of a race, you can just move the belt forward.  :thumb:

I'm pretty sure his industrial strength alternator bracket won't break though.


Anything else ??  :lmao:

It was so good to hear it run, and actually run and not grenade itself...

So i did all the hard stuff right it seems but now something as simple as a leak...

FFS  :ouch: :ouch: :ouch: :ouch:

Well look on the bright side, the inside of your engine has now been "washed" so it's very clean.  :lmao:

Oh no prob . Just put it in one of the misses big pans then put it on the stove and heat it to 215 f and all the water will simply evaporate right out of it.  :thumb:

Check a couple bolts first just so you know if they were loose or not.


Hey, this will also give you the bonus of being able to check the pattern on your fancy new dist gear.  :lmao:

When facing the engine.

The leak is coming from the back left, and from what i can see its right in the corner where the head, block and intake meet each other.

From what i can tell anyway.

Even if he is there will be consequences doing what he said that will make the dramas you have faced until now pale into insignificance.

As Glenn said, amazing job. I'm in awe of you taking this on and have learnt a lot, mostly that I'm staying on outside of my engine.

Cheers mate,

Yeah, im hoping its the intake.

There is a small leak from the rear left, maybe i didn't seal around the port well enough. I hope that's it and not the timing cover

The bolt second from the rear on the left side was i guess loose.

When i say loose it was tight but i could still tighten it maybe a few mm or so.

ok, then you definitely did NOT follow my instructions exactly, which is obviously kind of a bad thing.

Hopefully there will be something obvious to see.

Yep, that's what I meant.

Great day here in Melbourne so I'm taking my Mustang and my beloved for a drive up into the hills for a coffee or something. Did you know that you can do that with these cars? Drive them?
