So I realize it's been over a month since I've updated. More on that later.
I've purchased just about everything else I need for this build except for a harness:
I decided to stud the engine, rather than re-use the stock tension bolts.
This is the kit from Turblown. I also sourced two new OEM tension bolts for the "legs" of the keg.
Also purchased:
- New clutch slave cylinder and SS clutch line
- RB primary injector plugs
- RB oil pan baffle
- RB "street" oil pressure regulator
- RB aluminum flywheel, street/strip pressure plate, street/strip HD disk
- Mazdatrix oil cooler lines
- New OEM oil cooler brackets
I probably won't use the little support plate RB supplies with the injector plugs as this is a N/A engine so the plugs will never see positive gage pressure and it's downright ugly. I'm going to have to tweak to th injector plugs a little as well because for some reason they extend into the flowpath of the intake ports. Nothing a little grinding won't fix.
That's all the parts that have been sitting in my garage for going on 3 weeks now. I said I haven't been able to get much done and this is primarily for two reasons:
1. Still can't figure out a design for the radiator/undertray I like.
2. Our first child was born 10/26:
Hopefully as things calm down I'll be able to get back out to the garage. Goal is still to fire up in the Spring.
