OK. Well, it's finally in. When we last left our heros, they had taken a little bit off the input shaft and were getting ready to put the gas engine in. Well, guess what? We didn't cut off enough. Soon as we tightened everything up the engine started to bind. So, we pulled the engine out, measured as best we could, trimmed the shaft and tried again. Not enough off. Still binding. Pull, measure (a little better this time), trim, and try again. Success! Still, most of the day gone. But it's in. Now for the cutting to fit the intake manifold, fuel system and electrics. Does anyone have any advice on the best tool to use the do the cutting of the sheet metal? Maybe something cheap to buy? Also, I've read what others have done to extend the fuel lines to the fuel distributor. Does anyone have any other solutions than having the lines custom made? onwards and upwards...
