Lucifer now has a full on clutch kit with custom machined flywheel. Thanks to BP Specialty that is! I have not made any progress on the build itself tho. I do have some news coming soon on that!

I am working on a custom sequential shifter kit for the e153 trans that i will try to adapt to the g series trans as well. The idea is just to have something cool and unique to make it my own and not just a 100% copy. The shifter will have a gear and pawl on each side of a frame. This dual gear and pawl will allow the handle to travel up and down without having to hit a button or lever. I will have to make a lever to get into Reverse tho (dont want to grab R by mistake). Inside the frame attached to the same shaft of the 2 gears on the outside will be a small drum with a cam on it. The cam will push on a lever that is spring loaded to stay on the cam. As the drum rotates the cam pushes on the lever changing the distance of the attachment point to the frame. For the e153 i will have 2 different cams and 2 different llevers as the e153 uses 2 cables to drive the trans into gears. The g series version will have only one cam. I have the basics of the design modeled and working on paper. I have to refine the design to a production level quality and start testing. More info later on this if it ever becomes more then some crazy thought!

Im hoping to have Britstiva finished and delivered in the next couple weeks. If so Lucifer will become the next big project. I cant wait.

Well the new build now has an intake manifold that is able to make more then enough power for my goal. Carlos is upgrading to an even bigger badder better unit. I took his current unit off his hands for him! It has clearly made more power then what i am wanting to so it should be great. I will have to have it powder coated or something tho. Gotta have it all perdy under there.

I am talking with carlos on the exhaust mani and short block now. I hope to have them soon as well.

After the intake and exhaust mani plus the block ill be tapped out again for a while. Then focus will shift back to installing the trans with the spare bp to get it all mounted.

Well Carlos is officially building my motor. The deal has been made. It will still take some time but its happening. Now i need to focus on my current build. i have to finish britstiva to gather some more funds and to clear out my garage. Once the garage is clear i will focus on lucifer. Mounting that e153 will be fun as well! The big expensive stuff is done and paid for. Now its time for all the little crap.

I cant wait to see this motor in the car!

Well this is interesting. Didn't know, but i guess i kinda figured, Carlos would be able to do a full build for someone else. didn't expect it to be that cheap though. How are you mounting that trans though? i might've missed it earlier in the tread but didn't he tube up his whole front end?
