The motors in
A few bits and pieces have been done since my last post. Rebuilt and fitted a Holley 1904 carb (off a 60s falcon) with a few mods to the head and rocker cover required to squeeze it in. Also replaced the oil filler/dipstick with a flat head one (shorter) so it didn't foul the carb. Stripped, cleaned, reassembled and fitted a vacuum advance distributor from a Mini. Fitted another flywheel which is drilled to take the larger clutch option. Fitted up the new clutch and bolted the engine to the gearbox and transfer. The best part was dropping the power plant back into the frame yesterday. It'll only be temporary so I can plumb pipes, get the rear drive shaft shortened (Mahindra one is about 12 inches longer I think). I also need to build a set of headers and an exhaust and sort all the body mounts properly. The steering bell crank is something I'm still working on and will probably end up welding the bracket on to the current cross membe...
