Glad to see everything coming together! Your intake is one of the new W2.4's that were built for 2.3 ltr applications with various changes to the entire manifold. Thanks for the props! Indy

 

coming together nicely! more work than expected, but at least this time its done right.

 

It's unfortunate to see our rad isn't working with that Shearer manifold setup. \


Good luck with the build!

Take care,

Caleb

Looks good, she will fire up on Tuesday night for the first time! It's alive! It's alive!

 

Wow sucks to hear about the car, but on the bright side that thing is going to be a monster!

 

tell me i don't see worm style clamps on those couplings.......where are the t-bolts!

 

Just mock up for now, he has them on order.....worm clamps.....please son!

 

This thing Is coming out nicely. Your can pretty much garuntee this one will be done RIGHT!

 

Is that an old style Shearer manifold? I don't recall them ever looking like that and mine definitely doesn't look like it either:

 

It was a custom Shearer kit purchased by the original owner, it didn't have a wastegate flange on it, the turbo has it on the hotside, like the BR kits, as shown in the picture.

 

i think its a shearer stock replacement mani... but i am not totally 100% on that.

 

Now we're getting somewhere

 

that engine bay is beatigul, i own a yellow one too. I wasnt into it at first but its grown on me. so many people asking, They made them in yellow?

 

the car started up tonight.

Everything is good, other than the clutch will not disengage. we bled the clutch fully (i switched back from the tilton push style to a puller exedy triple)... but it still wont fully disengage. any ideas?
