This week concluded the final engine and gearbox installation. Our 4 speed Webster non-synchronized trans axle was meticulously rebuilt by Mark Wehrman of Wehrman Engineering. One lay shaft gear was replaced as we found it to be slightly worn. Peter from Midnight Auto, who rebuilt the Ford 1600 cc engine had to fit another oil pan as the one which was on the engine dd not fit the frame. The final install went relatively smoothly with only a slight mod to the left side engine mounting and the need to acquire a new starter. Next is the water and oil system. The two radiators and the cross connect tube are already in place.
