Motor is Finally in!!

Unread post by hondo100 » June 16th, 2021, 9:09 am

Decided to go ahead and get the motor off the shop floor and in the A2. I'll just work around the motor. Block and head sent to local machine shop. Bored 0.020. Cam and crank were polished. motor build went fine. Test run on engine stand resulted in oil pressure of 45psi. Now to get the rest of it done. The body was covered in diamond plate and it spent two years on a rotisserie getting de-bubbafied. It's getting a 100-amp system for a GRC-106 install.

Guy,

There are a boatload of your panels on this A2. Wouldn't have ever considered tackling it if they hadn't been available.

Many thanks.
