yes i do donder, and i know the s/p manifolds are hard to get... i was lucky on finding some, i'm still grateful for that guy selling them to me  as for the cleaning, i'd best install the cylinders before cleaning the case, otherwise i'll have all that crap going into the case  |

Note I said toothbrush es. I first just ran some fuel or vacuum rubber line between the manifolds. Now on my d/p I've tried plugging them up, and it also seems to be working quite nicely. |

Heads: are u sure they are not cracked? its sometimes hard to see! Cleaning: install heads en make blockoff plates for all the openings, then drive to the carwash-box and have a good cleanup with some motorcleaner program there. Heaterboxes: those are a bitch if they stuck! maybe with a nutsplitter or cutting the nuts with a dremel will do.. Valveseats: maybe only lapping will do fine (budget wise eh ) Here some pictures of my 1200: Old  New!  Cleaned at the carwash box:  Only lapping did fine for me:  Hope you have something with this.. |

well, i'll get to the engine next weekend i suppose.  dunno why but i'm getting second thoughts on shaving the indicator on the front wings and perhaps the grilles, second step would be dechroming... but perhaps i'll do that with another car at some point any thoughts? |

I agree.....except for the horn grills. Thats a large character-less panel if you dont have the horn grills there to break it up. My two cents  |

i like frenchy's 67 too:  and it's not dechromed, i'm pretty sure i want to keep the trim as well. but then sometimes it looked a bit like a 68 model:  plus with t-bars it looks slightly...  |

You get a clean car without the grilles. The point is to make your car stand out from the rest... or not ;-)

I liked the clean look on my car, however now it's filled with a Lucas indicator... Do what you like best!   |

i think i know what i want now lads  and i reckon it's gonna look the bollocks BUT i have a major problem! received an email of the guy who is working on my body and my left door is shot  i desperately need a new leftside 67 door to keep the project on schedule. i realise shipping a door from the US is not an option, but can any of the germans/belgians help me perhaps? |

would running a power pulley be worthwile?
the extra HP compared to the extra heat generated...

Sounds like a definite no Well, i already have a normal size timing pulley so i'll probably use that one. But Bill Fisher mentioned in his book that with the use of a power pulley etc he would gain another 15hp with that 1500 in the beginning of his book... |

I don't really think it would be a problem to run a power pully...

15 hp is waaaayyyyy optimistic. I would only use a power pulley if you have good gauges (cylinder and oil) to monitor your engines temp. Otherwise, its not worth the risk. |

those 15hp included stepping up to dual ports. but i don't have the gauges yet so i'll, like al pacino says best, forget about it |

That was my thinking as well. Most of the time we don't have the really high temperatures over here in europe (especially not in Norway were I live) I really don't think a power pully would give you any problems. But, I have never tried one myself..

On a little motor, I think the power pulley does make a difference in throttle response. At peak rpm, it might be worth 4-5hp. But on little engines, the throttle response is noticeable. Which fan are you running? Another trick is to use early 40HP or 36HP fan. Fewer blades, less drag. But less air. I've run power pulley on my car quite a bit and it only overheated in HOT weather after 1.5hr freeway trip (100-105F outside), oil temp nudged 220F according to VDO gauge. No damage, but engine got a little fussy. If it is cooler where you drive the car (like 65F or below) and the engine is tuned correctly, the power pulley will do something you'll notice. It's kind of like going from stock VW muffler to 4-into-1 header and single muff. Not earth shattering, but worthwhile. Probably the BEST change you can make on a stocker is bigger bore and Kadrons.
Tune it up and have fun!

Mmh, i'm expecting about 95F here tops... Perhaps Sander will allow me to try out his power pulley? You mentioned 4-5 hp, is this as much as 1.25 ratio rockers will give me? How much does raising the CR to 8:1 or 8.5:1 give me? (stock cam) I'm just trying to weigh possibilities against the money that i still have to spend this month  I'm using the original fan of my 1300 s/p F case, does that one qualify? Plus the bigger bore and kadrons are already accounted for |

I advise against raising the compression with a stock cam.
