Engine Break-in

After a couple years and countless hours in the shop, I have finally done the initial startup and break-in on my new motor.  For those that have not been following along, I built this 2276cc, machine work and all.  It has an A1 Sidewinder and dual 45mm Dellorto DRLAs.  I also built the hidden cable pulley linkage system.

Carbs

Here is a shot of the firewall side of the motor.  I have the cable connecting the 2 carbs together finished, installed and adjusted.  I still need to make up the cables and connector that goes from the peddle assembly back to the driver side carb.  I also need to make some slight modifications to the oil cooler exhaust tins.  The cross-over cable just hits it.

New Engine - Again

The exhaust, remote oil filter lines and thermostat are all done now.  The only thing left before starting the engine for the first time now is oil, filter and the oil pressure sender.  I think I am going to take the ignition components out of the car itself to use them on the engine stand for the initial start-up.  So maybe I will get it started this weekend.
