Very Cool !
The Empi modified SPG would have the narrow connecting rods made to work with the Empi 88mm Slipper Skirt pistons.
Would also be welded and/or pinned.

Inside the Empi roller package... I can't recall ever seeing an NOS Empi roller in this condition. SPGs, yes, but not an Empi.

WOW!  What a find. Did it come with the modified main bearings for oiling?

Rick, yes, all roller cranks came with std mains already modified for the roller bearing rods. This way, when you replace them, you have something to go by for the next set of mains..

Nothing too exciting but another couple of bits to help finish off the chassis Grin
The last fitting needed for plumbing the motor & tubing needed to make a cage around the fuel cell.
Also a nice grant steering wheel for my new '67 Cool

A set of Mahle 94B pistons notched by Rimco.  This should help bump up the CR for the new Raptor camshaft:
