After sandblasting, installing the cage and fully seamwelding (including adding a few extra braces) I sent everything out for powdercoating (including the entire body, everything but the outer skin was powdercoated) </img>

I had all the cage welds carefully inspected after powdercoating

Progress has been slow for the last few months. I moved and don't have any room to work anymore, but... I am building a new shop to work in and it should be done pretty soon. The 24X48 building is up (just needs the door) then I need to run power out to it and insulate and I will be back in business.

 God DAAAAMN talk about a rod. What compression you going to be running with that kit? I would be really interested to see what kinda power out puts you wield with the Kit. I see a lot of talk and questions about the kit. But I haven't seen any one do one yet. maybe you should finish the engine and drop it into a 240 or something for a quick dyno hehe. Anyways good luck the project is looking freakin awesome.

I am going to run 10.5 to 1
I want a very durable engine that I can flog all day and that has a nice power curve.
No dyno queens
No turbo suddenly breaking the tires loose in the middle of a corner

oh man....get it done!freakin' sweet.
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." – Evan Tanner, 2007

This is what I've been waiting for. If something ever happened to my 240, I'd want to build a 510 with my KA (which is in process to rebuilt similar to yours). Keep updating!!!

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, The wise men, Noah, and every other biblical name... This is freak'n amazing. I am currently trying to convince my fiance that a 510 project would keep me out of trouble. Good Luck with the build and I am looking forward to the results.

Still waiting for the shop to get finished to make any progress. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. Today I bought the wire and all the other stuff I need to run the power to the shop. Next week I hope to dig a 250 foot trench to run the power. in order to work on the car I need to
get power to the shop and wire it
insulate the shop
sheetrock the shop
Then finally it is back to work on the car

Still finishing the shop. It now has power and is insulated.
Now I need the sheetrock, paint and benches... oh, and a hoist.
never thought building a shop would take so long but I need to get it done so I have room to work

Yep.
After a lot of consideration I decided to get a 4 post-ramp style hoist rather than a two post.
While a two post gives you better access to the bottom of the car and makes it easier to do wheel work a 4 post is better for storing a car and can be moved around the shop. Also if you are doing work on a formula car like pulling an engine you have to remove the entire rear of the car which means the car will fall off a 2 post hoist

OK, I'm back.....
Got the shop done and my stuff moved in so I have started back to work on the car finally Today I put the new fuel pump in the fuel cell and installed it. When I bought the cell I was going to use carbs So I ordered it with a low pressure pump but since I am going with FI I needed to install a high pressure pump.
The fuel cell came with a red case but I wanted it to match the car better so I had it sandblasted and powdercoated the car color.
I used stainless bolts to mount the cell and ground off the lettering and polished all the bolts and washers.
I also installed the front marker lights, the door trim (both NOS) and the new trunk seal.  </img>

Looking good! As I added to the stroker thread, the oil squirters are a problem. You can either relocate/machine them to fit, or you can delete them.
Can't wait to see the project as it progresses!
