Dec 25 2003 - I fabricated the mounting brackets for the fuel pump and filter assembly. The bracket from Todd didn't work out with the placement of my firewall feedthru so I opted to use some of his design and some of the Vans design.

Mar 19 2004 - I am going to install a 90 degree adapter from Casper Labs for the oil filter. Here is what is included - the adapter, a filter, and all gaskets & crush washers. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
Unfortunately, I need a spacer to clear the engine mount. They sell several sizes, here I have the adapter spaced at 1.5" which is the middle size available. The spacer block and bolt kit is on the way. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
A shot from above. Everything clears well and in fact the oil cooler plumbing is eased with this setup over the spin on adapter. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
Finally installed the exhaust hangers. I needed to deviate from the plans since those lower engine mount tubes that for an "X" get in the way near the sump bolts. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
Here you can see that I used a bolt forward of the one recommeded. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
On the LH side, I reversed the clamp to get it away from the mixture cable. As on the other side, this side also used the bolt forward of that recommended. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
Oil cooler installed. The spacer tubes are cut 1/8" short and an AN washer installed between the flange and spacer on each end. The LH bolts are AN3-42 and the inner bolts are AN3-41. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
Fabricated a mount for the Lightspeed ignition coils. The angle is high to get the coils up away from the injection spiders. | ||||
| | | | |
 | ||||
The supplied wires easily fit with this arrangement. An earlier attempt with the coils facing aft would not reach. | ||||
