Re: American in Austria 83 Build

Small update on the build. I finally got my pushrods from the US, Straub Technologies. I also had to get custom length rocker arms from Harland Sharp. With my Scorpion rockers I could not get proper valve train geometry (where the roller tip lays on the valve with correct pattern) I could adjust the adjustable pushrod until the patter was right, but it put rocker arm to valve geometry way off. So Harland Sharp made a .070 longer rocker for me and now it is dead on.

Just waiting for the silicon to dry on the intake and I will prime the engine tomorrow, finish the wiring on the FITECH system and fire it up.

Also no one answered my question about why my front shock would not line up properly with the mounts. I did a bit of research and I found they make a new upper shock mount for lowered suspension. So maybe my lowered suspension is causing the shock to no longer line up with the upper mount. Could this be?

Thanks

Paul
