Before sharing my ongoing project I'd like to TAKE MY HAT OFF and THANK everyone contributing and making this the greatest Cal Look resource on the web - Thank you! Unfortunately, I have to confess to the fact that I'm more of lurker on here - shame on me  Grin!...Nonetheless, countless threads here on the Lounge have answered many of questions and INSPIRED me! SIMPLY AWESOME!

Current/ongoing project (T1, 1962):

Basic engine specs:
- AS41
- DPR 82mm crank
- Scat H-beam race rods 5.3"
- FK8
- Cima/mahle 94mm
- GB 30mm oil pump/GB cover
- Heads by Jeff Denham (casting is CB's 044 CNC Ultra Wedgeports, 44x37.5)
- DRLA 48s
- CR 9:5
- GB sump

Tranny
Rancho ProComp

The car is basically untouched body wise - "battlescars" from being driven by an old lady for 45 years left as is - i.e. NO show but decent GO  Grin

"Cock pit" is very simple/clean/stock - tach, pressure, temp, cht, GB locking shifter, repro GT wheel and Speedwell bucket seats.

Will be rolling on repro BRMs.

Engine mounted yesterday



Fuel supply via an HP125

Again - Thank you all for making the lounge the greatest place!
