      By technicality, 2. I may go cheap-ass though and throw a B8 in the Lemons car for the time being. My blue car is going to be getting the full BP smorgasbord.

        Texas is quickly becoming a swap leader! Glad to see all the progress! Have you guys made the clutch stuffs yet? I'm interested in what you come up with for that.
        Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

          GreenBullitt is exploring some unique ideas that, hopefully, will not require a hinged cable puller.

              Got the engine ready to pull with the exception of axles. They're being stubborn! Need to get my framerail work done! Also need to relocate battery.

                trying some tig out...for the wideband




                pulled the engine, cvs were being stubborn so I opted for the alternative





                did some trimming





                practiced running beads with the tig

                      a good life hack is if youre abou to relocate battery you can just purchase one of the Odyssey batteries and lay it on its side and it will be out of the way for the engines with the intakes pointed at the drivers side. the price gap between those performance batteries and a regular battery from Walmart all day long is no gap at all anymore a few years back there was a big one...

                        More or less, yes. I own a nice unit but haven't had time to practice. It's been 2 years at least since I tried last. Now that I've been bitten again, I'll keep practicing. Time to go get some more argon!

                        Interesting you should mention that. I have been pondering this but was not sure of the reliability of the odyssey.

                          Are we talking about the motorcycle/ATV batteries here?

                            I use a Big Crank ETX12. It's the same exact battery as my Braille, except more than 100 dollars cheaper! It's made by Deka in PA. Fires my car without any problem, Even works for cranking to prime the engine and then a compression check right after and then it started the engine without sounding stressed at all! and it's only 9 lbs! It's cheaper than a stock replacement at walmart, I paid 65 bucks shipped for mine off ebay.

                                the photo looks deceiving, but the rail is clearnced straight

                                dressed the rest of the engine



                                thanks for the covers and pulleys don!

                                what are these on the bp? not familiar with these yet...



                                these come from under the upper manifold, not the fuel lines of course
