Re: Looking for someone who has their L8 engine out of the car

Apologies to anyone who's been watching the thread waiting for something to happen, my machinist friend also teaches powertrains classes at the community college and he's been ramping up the semester. He's still working on the solid model of the adapter and waiting for me to pull my bellhousing. I've decided that while I wait, I'm going to build a split voltage electrical system that supplies 12v to starting/charging system, ignition, and running gear and 6v to the gauges and radio via a converter. I'm also going to install new valve guides and springs, install oil filtration and pcv systems, port the block and re-shape the combustion chambers and add a dual header while the engine is removed. I'll post trials and errors here as I get around to it. If anyone has installed a remote spin-on filter system, please weigh in. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
