Race Motor Build-up

[Humble]

UPS came by with a couple of big boxes that I emptied onto the living room floor


Back to the motor, I did final assembly, sealing the barrels to the block with some high temp copper permatex and safety wiring the cool tins in place



The EFI turbo kit from CB came with a thin line oil sump so than went on with the extention for the oil pickup.

Before bolting the heads on for the last time, I made sure to drill and tap the head by #3 and install the cylinder head temp sensor. This is for the fuel injection computer. For running a gauge I suggest a thermistor/washer that goes around a spark plug which will give a better temp reading.


When I tried fitting the header, I ran into this problem. No way to get the nut on and fully seat the flange so I trimmed the stud on the white line.
