it seems as though my idleness has come to an end. yesterday i got lucky and my trusty helper, who happens to be my girlfriend, spent some quality time with me in the garage:
some time later:
then, i had to take care of the engine bay as unfortunately it was neglected during the respray a few years ago. i chose to go with an old school finish that closely resembles the zolatone finish.
today we're off to put in some more hours. any advice regarding the wiring is appreciated. there's quite a loom of wires going both ways, and it like to have it look a little more clean...
hopefully next week we'll install the 1915 - a moment that, to say the least, has been due for way too long.
Your a lucky man! How on earth did you get ANY work done with a honey like that hanging around

YES! That turned out really nice, Nico. Good job to your girl and you. Love the shots with her, too. If I were you... I'd have one of those framed in the home.

Oops! My apologies, gentlemen... I didn't type that correctly. I was trying to compliment Nico on the pics and was suggesting to Died to print the photos.
Good catch on my typo. HAHA!! At any rate, the car is looking really nice, Died.

so what are the exact specs of yer 1915, Died?
Sorry, I forgot about this one, the specs. I'd like to think of it as an old school 1835, big cam (w130), 40x35 heads, dual QPs and IDAs.
But frankly, the true mastermind behind the engine is Jim Ratto. I'm merely an apprentice following the recipe

yup, just got off the phone with David an hour ago, a friendly "Rotterdammer" who provided me with a lot of info, too.
he also told me that since Brad Penn 20w50 is only good for 5,000km, he's also got Gulf Maxi Plus in stock in case you want a longer lasting (good crude, 1500ppm) oil. just sayin

We've been busy bees today, thanks go out to my brother Chris and clubmate Jesse. We finished some last bits on the engine, flywheel endplay (.30mm according to KS's interchange manual specs), clutch and KEP plate, replaced the starter, finished painting the engine bay. We also cleaned up some of the wiring, installed the breather box well out of sight.
Just gotta finish match porting the intakes and install the engine, install the top-end and break-in the engine.
Here's Jesse filling up the engine with Brad Penn Straight 30 break-in oil. It's got 3 quarts in it now, looks like 4 quart will do with the 1.5qt sump to reach at least the lower mark on the dipstick. Or should the oil level be higher for the break-in? I've got 5 quarts anyhow...
Just gotta decide where to mount the Holley Regulator. I'd prefer to mount it on the back of the fanshroud instead of the firewall, tips are welcomed
Will continue tomorrow @ 9 am

we made progress today but we encountered the usual issues that stall the process, so we only got to test for oil pressure and finished as much as we could on the engine. we got 4 bar oil pressure when cranking, some may have seen the clip on facebook.
my brother chris played his fumio role well and took care of the porting the intakes, as well as the dash electrics (fancy oil gauge i had stashed away)!
while jesse and i installed the engine, which took a lot longer than we expected as the clutch wasn't aligned properly even though we used a tool to install that all yesterday. so after excluding all other options we got it fixed but lost a lot of time. however we did as much as we could've done hardly taking a break
engine in. those IDA look big in real life
plus the engine looks really narrow with the reversed empi intakes
:
no more speedometer:
last pic of the day:
left to do are 2 more fuel lines, plugs and ignition, generator and valvetrain install.

thanks Mark! I meant to say that my 914 speedo (which was on the left) has been replaced with a cool 911 combi oil gauge.
it's such great, rewarding work to mount and install the engine with care and quality parts
those black manifolds are original empi items and the IDAs sit reversed and real close to the shroud. they make the engine look very narrow.

They belong on race engines with no cooling and no alternator/generator.
On a street engine they look silly & they don't belong since they have no use. I don't think you'll find a pic of a street car's engine with a magneto in "the bible"...

Tell Dave Mason they don't belong on a street car and that they are silly, then he'll show you a time slip!

Glad you like it, Lee! I suppose, in your own words, great minds think alike
I didn't get the magneto rebuilt though, it's a locked-out mag wired through a Joe Hunt signal converter. Might wire in my Autometer Pro Control, too.
Roland, I'm only glad we're not all running a Bosch 010 or MSD setup. I like doing things differently every now and then
I'm all about the look of the old days and I gather inspiration from different cars and such. So, I suppose you could see my '67 as a compilation of some cal-look cars from different eras if that makes any sense.
Gonna work on the engine tomorrow, to fire it up this Saturday.
Tomorrow I'll see if I can make fuel lines, clean up and connect some wiring, assemble the fan-generator-pulley thingies, mount the shroud, throw in spark plugs, set timing, slide in some pushrods, assemble the rocker arms and set the valve lash. I'll see how far I get and the rest will be wrapped on Saturday I hope.
Then, I gotta sort out that annoying right side rear axle bearing and take it for a short test drive

Be very carefull with the dyno pulley etc I have seen way to many come apart! Use an Original VW pulley is my best advise,
