Got the fuel tank mounts and fuel pump feed line finished. Just got alittle work to do on the coolant system and we should be good to go. Shawn is coming up in a week so we can install the cam and new valve seals. I am soo tempted to throw a set of 82-85mm turbos on this sucker. Should be able to have it fired up on Methanol by the end of the month if all works out the way it should.

Shawn came down today and we got the new cam in and degreed. Also threw on a set of new valve seals so the motor is ready to go back in. Worked on the coolant system today and got all of the plugs installed and the coolant tank modified. Wont be another week or 2 til she is fired up.

Summary of weight loss going to alcohol.....
<53> radiator, pump, water lines fittings
<89> intercooler, water, pump, lines
<34> 2nd fuel pump, tank, fuel, lines
Grand total....
176#

It will end up being alittle more but thats the bulk of the weight.
