Operation Comf. Drivetrain complete (pics)

[Prof]

351W--Engine has been wet tested (ran strong--pulled great vacuum--tweaked the noisy adjustable rocker) and is being packed up to go to San Antonio via Lone Star's trailer. I really appreciate the many donations that will make this a jewel in the engine bay. JRoss gave the surge tank--it has been reworked and tested by the best of old school pros and will perform without any issue. MTPocket's pulley setup came together without any problem (a few washers here and there to set the belt spot on). Small tags give general instructions, and a bag includes break-in additive, air cleaner, etc. Carb is being custom built for the induction characteristics of this engine. No problems or interference on the back end with the T5 bell, clutch, clutch fork and throwout bearing.

Engine will be mounted on the mobile engine stand pictured on the left. Mobility will not be an issue for the soldiers. I only had to remove and wrap the starter in a bag to be mounted later.

Received word last night that the WC T5 is done and in the hands of Houston CC.

Drivetrain is done.

This is gonna be good...

Paul,

I sent you PM message on 11/22 but got no response so I assume you are not waiting on me.

A big congratulations to you Prof and all involved.

WTG Paul, really looks good. The "Zepeda" built carb will be delivered on Saturday with the rest of the goodies. The ladies at OC have been calling daily with updates and questions. I believe they have some surprises for us also.
