3.6 Update & Install Date!
It’s just about ready! I was tempted to go for it this weekend but decided that an extra week to wrap up any loose ends, and give anyone interested in coming over a little time, would be better.
Saturday, November 29th, 10 AM Anyone who would like to come over and help, watch, or just hang out and drink (German) beer is welcome. Email me for directions. surflvr911sc@aol.com I wanted to wait so I could post some pics but I wanted to get the word out before the weekend. I'll post update pics here latter. Ingo, where are you??

Update Pictures-
The completed engine.
  Engine tin power steering block off.  Oil lines- I know Thom had a problem w/ the B&B oil line & connectors, but the more I looked at it the more I thought it could work well. The first thing I did was remove the terrible short bead welds, that were there to hold the clamp on, and made a solid machined bead that goes around the whole line. There wont be any problem of cutting into the connector hose this way. Also the other lines that I’ve seen that go from the case to the S line have been at an angle, and then they need to connect to the tank’s straight connector. This seems like another bad idea to me so I made a line that the S hose could connect straight to.

The painted C2 tail.
  I made an aluminum floorboard to replace the old wood one. New aluminum peddles will happen later.

Nice job! You want to keep the S hose as high as possible. Its likely you will still want to put an insulating plate between the header and S hose anyway.

Thanks Guys. Bill, I’ve been thinking about that. I wish I had some extra Ti lying around but I think SS would work well. I’ve been trying to think of the best place to attach them. The valve covers or the engine tin bolts seem like the only good places. As anybody tried Sherwood’s Heat Sheets on a 3.6?

Yes, I was one of Sherwood's guinea pigs, here is an early prototype installation
 His current offering should go on nicely! You will also likely want a simple shield between the rubber S hose and header.

Ryan,
Amazing engine detailing. Can you please tell us how you did it? I pulled my engine because I am getting my car repainted, so while it's out, I'd like to clean it up. What did products did you use to get it so clean?

  Side note: high school welds on my re-configured headers have held up fine, while B&B's stainless muffler is slowly splitting apart.

Side note #2: Ryan, if I had all of those pieces of supercar sitting in my garage, I would not be able to sleep. That's just beautiful.

Yeah, I was just looking at it again, I could run Heat Sheets for the valve covers and make a SS shield that attached to the engine tin to put a barrier for the oil line. I’m not using the rubber S hose, I’m sticking w/ the B&B steel line, but I improved the connector beads 200%.
 Neil, I didn’t do anything real special. I spent a few hours (ok, maybe a couple days) w/ a few different size steel & brass brushes, scotch bright, and rags. I used Castrol (purple stuff) degreaser for the tuff stuff along w/ a lot of water. That stuff can really eat up aluminum so you need to use it sparingly and rinse w/ plenty of water. The really pretty parts were all powder coated; fan, fan housing, valve covers, tin. Everyday it looks dirtier to me and I have to spend a few minutes dusting it off. I know it will get dirty in the car but I would at least like it to be as clean as I can get it when it goes in. Thanks Jack, of course now I have to keep my fingers crossed that my B&B muffler will hold up but hey, the price was right.

Beautiful Job, I bet it's killing you not having it in. How many times a day/night do you walk out in the garage just to check on it!

looks great Ryan!
Come the 29th, everyone will be wearing rubber gloves so their hands don't get the engine dirty, instead of vice versa !!  max

Man, Ryan, that is beautiful. Did you say you *made* that aluminum floorboard? Just what kind tools do you have at your disposal
Hope to make it out there next week. Where is the test drive sign up sheet? -Brad SC motor envy

yeah, but once it gets in I predict a typical evening will consist of one of the following:
"I'm off to the store" "I'm off to the track" "I'm off to Big Bear, back in a hour or two" "I'm off to Big Sur, back tomorrow" "I'm off to the east coast, back next week" |
