Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: Head pipes (TTI 2.5"). I shimmed the passenger side motor mount 1/4" so that the passenger side pipe (photo #1) would clear the torsion bar (previously the TTI system was installed by another mechanic without shimming). The modified crossmember was done by TTI for me.
And I moved the transmission parking sprag cable slightly on the driver's side to prevent a repeat of melting the the cable a second time. Things are pretty tight but nothing is touching for now. I decided to re-fire the motor with just the head pipes installed. I can work the mufflers and other pipes on later. (photos #2,#3,#4,#5).
The 318 motor had a stock rebuild about ten years ago, but it has not run in about three years.
