I too love the BugTech shifters and very happy to be selling them here.

yeah, that's right. As far I know they are not a japanese factory anymore..but your 40z (or45?) is a genuine product, made in the gold-age you have PM. cheers

I have been working on tax stuff the last 2 days. But in between, I got my oil lines that will go to the front mounted oil cooler bent and flared. They are heavy walled -8 stainless so I had to take them to Aeroquip Express to have them flared.


I swapped out my carbs for another set of 45 Dells that fixed my remaining carb issues. I put another 30 minutes of run time on the engine and pull the lifters one more time to inspect them for proper break-in ware. 2 hours of run time on the test stand and 3 lifter inspections later and i am ready to fit some sealing tin to it and get it ready to stab in the car.

Sounds good so far, get some video of the motor once you get it in

I was starting to think I would never see this but here it is. I had to have some special bolts made for the Herbie X so I used the 2 to 4 week lead time to Take care of some things and even got another trip to our favorite spot in Mexico in last week.
I still have to make breather hoses, fuel hoses, put the exhaust back on, install the sealing tin and wiring. But it is in the car.

Looking beautiful! Curious about the filters, are those going to be the final version?
