    Yes sir, I switched them and she fired right up. I'm now trying to find space to his the wiring so it's not laying on top of the motor. After that I need a radiator and new slave cylinder.

              Right now it's just open headers. I still have to make one.

                                      i guess ill put some pictures up since its been a while.

                                      nothing new just some new pics. ive been driving it more and more to see if any problems will arise. so far everything is pretty well. i had the clutch pedal not come up all the way after driving for a while. and the temp gauge twitches some times. other than that i love driving this thing. it needs suspension really bad. i feel like im driving a boat.

                                      1102488647186398626496677765956ozpsd

                                      i also broke the motor mount brackets. oops.

                                        whoa, nice work! what were you doing when that happened?

                                        Aluminum does not have an endurance limit so any force being applied to it will fatigue it. So either, those arms had a very stressful life, or perhaps your engine wasnt quite sitting straight in the engine bay and the arms saw some forces they dont normally see. 

                                        Either way, that pic needs a "Thanks Obama" caption.
