For bolts that hold the pulleys and damper on, only use a very light torque. Maybe 20ish ft lbs. I'm actually still looking for the exact figure. I had to Helicoil them. Also avoid JB Weld blue thread locker. It never seems to cure. Otherwise, JB Weld I found is generally awesome stuff.

Stay off the heat when you weld. I welded and it bowed in. TIG if you can. Bondo if you must.

The best thing you can do is share more picts and make us on this side of the ocean jealous !

First one that I have seen with a/c on top. Looks great!! Did you build the box yourself?

Yes, go with Supraman. He's a good guy and will make it happen foryou.

Where is this on the block?

Today I used a radiator cleaner to clean it. As I cleaned it it become apparent that what I thought was aluminum, was copper/brass. Why this design? It lasts A LOT longer than aluminum.

Hmmm I saw that too. Wondered if it was OEM or sign of the times.

Having a hard time getting that pressure sensor out of the manifold. Did you do anything special?

Love the GT 40! What engine did you go with?

I hope it rather obvious, just how complex this is. He has rebuilt a lot of these, so it looks easy. The problem is, if you do one thing wrong, it will not shift right, and the whole thing has to come back out.

I think the paint job is presentable. There are some tricks you can find on the internet for improving rattle can pain jobs, but you probably already know this : ) Curious, with all the "unrest" out there, did this encourage you to paint the vehicle another color?

Interesting. Doubt you did, but did you document the build? Would be nice to share, if you did.

Just curious which Alison you rebuilt and what was worn. What was you cost for parts?

Ah, that's grounds for more testing! lol

In the past, blankets were used to keep hoods from blistering paint and of course, heat soak reduction of other components. I don't think performance was a primary consideration initially.

I had one of those HF winches. Gave it to a friend. It seemed to struggle a lot. I have 2 HF 5k winches and a 18k, and they are great.

This was a very interesting video. They looked at how turbo blankets impacted the power output of an engine. Beware of cheap, fake "blankys" on net. Go with something like a PTP. I believe there are a number of different turbos, including borg-warners, 225hp, 275hp, 290hp etc. Guess we will...
