Reply to "Speedster build progress"

Thanks for the input.  I'm a newbie, so all advice is appreciated.

1) I am pretty sure I modified and mounted the gas tank per the CMC manual, but I will double check.

2) I think when bolted to the rear subframe, the body will sit about 2" higher than the pictures show.  It is possible the body could is "channeled", not sure.  I am going to change the fan shroud for the recommended 71 shroud (which I just found).  That's  annoying because I bought the non-heater shroud specifically.  The carb linkage may be problematic and the air filters will have to change to something lower profile for sure.

I think my plan is to continue the door mounting head trauma so I can confirm the door gaps when securing the rear portion of the body.  Sure would have liked having either a template for the door install or having them come installed on the body as the CMC cars apparently did.

Question: Has anybody seen a type 4 installation in a Speedster?  I have a nice 2.0 type 4 engine I might want to swap in later if it is feasible.

Thanks again.
