Well we are just about 150 miles into break-in. Some minor issues but overall great. Had to switch from points to pertronix and need to get the carbs dialed in a bit more but man does she rip!
The Guard short gears and LSD were the right call. Pulls strong to 4k thanks to gearing but keeping it under 4500 for the first ~600 miles so I'm not sure what it feels like to be on cam yet! Excited to stretch her legs after break-in.
Finally got the interior done too, starting to feel like a car again. One thing I might reconsider is the muffler - while it sounds amazing, will probably be too loud for the wife on road trips. Might have to go with a street m&k muffler.
Overall, absolutely no regrets with this little ripper!
Hope this thread helps a fellow Pelicanite with their 2.7/915 build.
Both need more love in the community and have a charm that is uniquely different from a 3.2/G50 car.
