The ratios will determine how the tranny behaves behind any given engine. You won't know the difference if the ratios are similar to a yellow metal used tranny. You are also not likely to flog your newly rebuilt one on the street the way a track tranny is used. If it's a competition tranny sell it and rebuild a more common tranny and use the rest of the cash to work on the car. Win win for everybody...If it has the lower 1st gears it will actually be slower off the line because races cars don't spend much time in 1st gear, racers want close ratios because they can keep the engine in the sweet spot rpm wise. A street car almost never gets driven like this, continuous operation in 4,000-6,000 rpm range or higher

When you're done it will be worth more than $27k maybe more depending in how long you take

or you could have a bad ground some where and the current id feeding to ground through the light...

The reason you are six thousand dollars in and still have problems is you just randomly try things!!!! If you want to fix it without wasting money pay attention and take the advise that is given...these aren't hard things to do. My ten year old daughter could do it with a little direction...

You got a good deal...looks nice

Well done. Glad it worked out and a forum member could make use of them

If when sitting in traffic you rev the engine some, up to 2500 rpm's or so, does the problem go away for a minute? I believe you are running too much pressure on your fuel system and flooding the engine out...

I would be surprised if you got six months with the amount of air you're using right now but you might...

The color of his fuel may or may not be a problem. He is in a completely different market without all of our blends. For that matter the tanks they pump from could be rusted tinting all the gas pumped from them... Zed Head gave you good advise, take it or leave it

If your yellow is catalyzed paint then you should be able to use lacquer thinner to clean up any areas that leak out, but I don't know if that will completely do it. It does tend to stain some. Eastwood would be my choice too

When your desiccant gets saturated throw them in the oven on a cookie sheet on low for a couple of hours to dry them out

Love it. You're doing everything right from the looks of it. Happy New Year...

Drilling spot welds sucks, excuse my directness, it takes forever and you get tired maintaining pressure. Plasma cutter is much easier...

Results look good. Once you get it flowing keep it flowing. I have a pressure pot so it's a different setup...

What does your blasting setup look like?

Mark If you have access to a plasma cutter it speeds up spot welds tremendously. Just burn a round hole at all the spot welds and tap in a painters 5 way with a hammer to separate the panels

Remove the valve cover and check that everything is assembled correctly. I assume oil pressure is constant also?

That's a lot of money to spend with no assurances on functionality

I use silicone spray on squeaky panels...

Still, great progress. I need to spend some time in the shop myself...

Good progress. Are you gonna shoot another coat of primer before finish paint?

The seller will email pictures of them. I couldn't get them to attach because my internet was acting up. I believe he will ship. Contact him through the link. I agree with Jerry to be careful. It did seem like some things were missing off the top. I don't know mikunis very well and they don't appear to have just come off a car. Expensive parts could add up quickly...

92 degrees, not that hot and cars don' really feel humidity like we do. These cars sometimes don't cool well but that would be in 100+ heat. You have an ignition problem, a lean condition or insufficient cooling. You shouldn't overheat at those temperatures

Merry Christmas Be safe

How hot is it there in traffic?
