Still waiting for parts... JPM works 24/7 in his shop and the plan is to have everything done to Bug Run but it's going to be a tight schedule.

OK, I am bored... I talked to JPM today and he will recieve it from line boring any day now. Then it is time to make some new T4 main berings from two sets (the best way to get a good bearing crush).
KCR has promised the Folts axle kit to be ready before the end of the week. Just my luck, they seem to be ready at the same time.
So I made some other updates, I installed new seats and a MSD 7 AL2 instead of the Digital 6. I made a test with the ProPower, drag only coil and the sparks flew 2+ inches! I felt like some guy in star wars!
The difference is huge to the old MSD6 and the blaster HVC. Old one: 42000 volts, new one 55000 volts.
BTW I have a streetable Pro Power HVC coil as well for street driving. It is installed and i can shift between them in a minute.

Just forgot one thing, I added passenger seat belts as well. Last year people were having a grey tone in the face after the test ride...

Mock up with the new rear Ercos with 8.5" M/T slicks. I still have the M&H on Ercos for street driving.
The tranny is on it's way with air shipment from USA and hopefully I can install it next weekend.

What size rims are you running with the 8.5" slicks? Is it a type 1 box your running?! Looks like its going to be fun |

Bus tranny and it is installed now. The rims have too big offset to fit under the stock fenders, but I have found some flared fenders that hopefully will solve the problem. I neither have the time or money to order new rims from Erco so it has to work for this season.
The bus tranny is a lot beefier than the type1.

50mm valve 290 CFM.... And I guess this is in the 4" inch version of the MS230 heads?!? More cooling than a 044 and 290 cfm... the world is changing!
Super happy on your behalf Roman!! Hope you make it!

Yes, it's the 4". It is not a noff the shelf head, it has some additional porting. I know he has made a standard 4" bore head to a guy in Denmark, but I don't know the flow.

I just welded it up so I have even thickness around the #2 cylinder.
My heads are finished on Tuesday and if everything goes according to plans I will cut the valve relief pockets and shorten the pushrods on thursday.

Hmmm, plans... I will get the heads on friday so I have to convince my machine guy to work on Saturday morning. NOT an easy task.
I have to think positive now, Bug Run is 1.5 weeks away and my engine is nothing but a stack of parts that needs adjusting.
It is not impossible though.
