Good work

Thanks

Always tack so if it's not right you can fix it , other than that looks good , at first glance I thought you were working on a model A Ford

I would do number 1 the same as the rest to keep the exhaust flowing the same

Language Timothy! Seriously impressed with what you’re doing. Don’t let your tent blow away next time you camp.

Jim, Do yourself a favor and pin the individual intake manifolds to the head after you get them aligned to your liking. This will allow you to remove and replace them, getting them repeatable with each time you need to make adjustments. Fought this issue with my Lotus Super 7 back in the 60's. Makes for a quick on and off without have to make additional adjustments upon re-assembly.

Great looking manifold mate! Can’t wait to hear the ITBs

Glad to see you sort that number 1 pipe out jim,think you would have hated it if you had left it the way it was,nice to build your own exhausts,because everything's expensive nowadays, but they are a pain,but if you get it right,its worth the hassle, keep pushing forward buddy

Looks great, I was thinking of doing something similar with my Datsun when I get the chance, similar non-crossflow engine so I'll run into the same clearance issues!

Top Job! It will definitely be worth the effort! Fuel injection is the way to go.

Superb again Jim. Are thinking of sheilding the heat at all from the ITB's?

Great tutorial but just a quick question. Why type of cable is it, Thickness off core and so on I’m struggling to find this info on the net and would appreciate the help have done a engine conversion and now the leads are too short in length

What cad do you use Jim? Is it easy to convert to Stl for the printers? Cheers.

Interesting set up. In my past life working with instruments, you will normally find gauges are calibrated to show correct reading in there midrange. When testing compressed air and a regulator would replace the hydrolic pump and oil. Had 30 years with the almighty Mk 1 GT Cortina some from the early 60's with the 3 x 4inch gauge cluster on the dash. Loved them cars, rebuilt many.

Great stuff

Sounds like we built our engines in a similar fashion!

Lucky man! Not only do you have an oil pressure sender unit (super rare), you have one that actually works (ultra rare)! The ones we came across back in the day were faulty, so in the end we swapped the electric gauge for a live one. Found a gauge that matched the others reasonably well. These aren't Swiss quality instrument by any stretch of the imagination,. so if you're within 10% that's as good as it ever gets (if not better)! 👍

Citric acid is by far my favourite (cheap) chemical rust remover, vinegar / vinegar / salt combination leaves much nastier residues to deal with and smells a lot more..

I stumbled across this when looking for 3D printed exhaust ideas. I would want the exhaust primaries to turn down immediately and allow room for a heat shield to keep the intake manifold cooler.

Will look forward to it

The steering idler still needs room to operate in so factor that in as you don't want the manififold fouling. Not much room in that area.for error. Will look forward to updates

Will do

Thanks

Loving this

Have you added the steering componants into the equation? I could not believe the difference between the Capri GT and Cortina GT manifold as the Cortina one fouls the steering. I need to build a four branch for the Thames..May need some help with that. My mrs says you have a nice aura about you lol

Love old calculations, " The appliance of science". Found this fascinating

Yeah,keep going with the stuff jim,old tool resto is satisfying to do and look at,ive currently got 52 hammer's, it does get additive, but theres help on hand😂

Glad things are back on track mate! Bring on the content…

We’re going to get exhausted of waiting for the exhaust episode. 😁 I think we can stand some episodes with tools restoration as well. Bring it on!

Is the files availiable some where?

Keep plodding on, you will get there.

Good work

Fascinating

Hi Jim. Great content and helping me with my build no end. The anti sqeak. Shims. Where did you get them made

The Capri engine I rebuilt as close to an Allard dragon engine, save for a duplex timing gear. I put steel rocker posts on it but makes it a bit noisier so probably going to go for roller rockers..I still have the odd bit on The Allard stuff. Legendary! Good luck, look forward to updates

I was going to supercharge like the Allardette Anglia I had.. But the C142B cargers are hard to find. And the inlet manifold even more so. I found one once is so rare. I found one on ebay once for £350, nearly bought it. Should of. But what about those crummy electric chargers for a low.boost? Seems if its probably too easy it probably is! Just remember though the old rule. What you change at the top, change at the bottom..On a 1500 block I would be looking at steels mains caps at least especially if you have the rare 122E engine. Worth checking the number on top of the engine mount as the 122E has slighly less support on the mains, having a roundes edge on the journal, not fully supported.The 122E engines are sought after for heritage racing but are rare because unless remidied they failed. You may not be altering the power, but the fuel is now pressurised. Not sure if you put steel mains caps on it allready, but I would advise it.

Really interested how this progresses

Very interesting. Can you mount the cam sensor in the timing chain cover and will have less oil?

Great job, well done 👍

Love the "outro" Jim! 😂 I've got a 1197cc out of an Anglia Super sitting around and I've been considering doing exactly what you plan. I'll be watching with interest.

Hi Jim great build, what engine mount did you use?

Using wet and dry to clean the inside of the cylinder bore is a waste of time! - don't you understand that the piston only seals against the narrow shoulder !!! Yes clean the cylinder walls but really only a wipe is required as it's only a reservoir - not a running fit!

Don't forget to get this o ring - but forget to tell us where to put it!!!

Just crap! Every amateur never learns about filming the subject not the back of the hand - don't these boneheads ever proof read their videos before posting - unbelievable!!

This is proper man shed tech.😂

Imagine what you could have done with a brush!

Impressing work

Nice upload. I love seeing the 3d printwd jigs for fabrication. Currently working on a KZ750 turbo manifold. Im sure this will come in handy. Have a great day!

What is this thing even for?

Love this series! Please keep going! The music is great!🎉
