3 minute(s) of a 117 minute read

I know there are no pics, but I guess there will be a pic whoring session soon.

Block is getting bored to 84mm it's presently in the machine shop.

Got my 84mm Wossners on Thursday; need to do some calculations for comp. height & valve interference dimensions.

I also ordered the 100 feet of DOM 1-3/4 tubing for the roll cage.

First thing, will be to start the roll cage, just need to find a mandrel bender 

Saw a few models, but it's kind of exaggerated to buy this for a one time project.

Three of us are building roll cages, so we will do the "barn building" thing with all 3 cars 

More coming soon!

Fred = OCD...(Its OK, knowing this, is about 80% of treatment)

So first: Dagomar is inside, while Euclid is out in boarding school...

Engine stuff: 

Big valves from TT (supertech & Ferrera) are finding their way into the 051 head: 

I brought all the supplies to the machine shop, but told them to call me when the seats would be in, so I could do my stuff!

Oversized valve seats before porting:

Oversized valve seat AFTER porting

More detailed pictures of poring on the head:

Guess what's going into those heads?

Also working on the "Chassis" side...

My back yard, as we speak:

A bit of weight taken off...

I would guestimate this as about a diet of 40 lbs per door...

More coming soon, especially on the engine...Order is in for 100' of DOM 1-3/4" X0.095"

I also bought these for making my roll cage:

And also one of these:
