Stanley's car....1 1/4" Tranny raise 28Jun14

Thought this might be better here than in members rides. Since the decommissioning of my white '70 beetle that I used to drive/race with the turbo, this is what now has all my attention. Although I’m not going to post it as a build up, it's passed the point of no return so I’ll just post the odd progress pic. It's nothing that hasn't been done before. It's a '60 Aussie built beetle and plans are to make it for the track only and as such has had all non essential stuff removed including all the window mechanisms and side glass which is now lexan. It will still be built under the TAT scope but I will spend money where it is needed particularly in making it safe. I have so far replaced the MC all the wheel cylinders, new brake shoes all drums machined amd all new wheel bearings. New g'box is in progress with Dangerous Dave and I will mount the old 100 ci turbo to it. Colour scheme at this stage will be satin black with silver flashes to match the aluminium panels at this stage. This what it started as a couple of months ago. May look familiar to some. I think I may have posted some pics earlier. Stripped and ready for the games to begin. Upgraded to a duel circuit MC. Have run a new line from front to rear. Front g'box mount was broken so decided after some advice, to fab an intermediate mount. Thanks Dave. Also now has a removeable apron and have done away with the wings between firewall and inner guard. Couple of pics of the new dash. Inside is plain and simple in satin black and aluminium rear panels and door cards. These are the wheels I recently purcahesed. May also look familiar to some.

Meant to post a pic yesterday. Just need a fan housing and I can finish assy.

I must admit the thought of running without a fan housing crossed my mind 🙅

They look tough like that! Mine got pretty hot in sydney with the fan so i'd imagine the no fan option wouldn't be such a good idea 😁

What fuel are you going to run, if you use methanol you could get away without the fan, bit more power without it.

Will run pump gas. I thought about methanol but carbs have too smaller bowls.

I'd love to but depends on time and money.

Be a few weeks before start up. Gotta get my sons slant six running this weekend ready for Mopar Sunday and still need a fan housing.

Good news is the engine is in and running well.
Bad news is I have an oil leak from around the area of the top LH stud on the oil pump which looks to be coming out between the pump flange and case. Doesn't start until oil (or case) warms up.
Pulled the pump and resealed with Loctite 518 and fitted a new cover gasket thinking oil was travelling down the stud. Still leaks.
I'm going to pull it again and have a good look to make sure there is no crack around the stud in the case. If it's ok i'll fit the pump from the turbo motor to eliminate the pump.
Question....bought a pump puller but with the plug in the gallery the rod wont engage in the hole. Anyone have any tricks for pulling the pump other than scrapers and screwdrivers. Don't want to damage any sealing faces.

thanks

That's a bummer..... I made my own oil pump puller twenty years ago.... Fits perfectly.... Maybe you can mod the one you have to fit better?

Well it appears leak has been fixed. What first appeared to be a crack running from pressure port in case ended up being a score from the plug in the pump outlet created when pump was installed. Some careful blending seems to have sorted it. I still have one finger crossed though.
Just need to refit a decklid and hopefully a tnt in the coming weeks.
