Plan B has Landed

Work counted on our little project today.  In the morning, we worked on several subsystem for the Z.  And yes, there was some porting of the exhaust header, even after several threats of cutting the drill cords and strange parts run demands.    

Some of these items come to us from the under fortunate demise of the Pistalo Alto team.   Their car nosed into a K-rail at Arse-Freeze Apalooza and did not survive.  We are sorry, to see a good team end on such a note.  Thank you, Pistalo Alto, for the fun racing.  We appreaiate your donation and will run with power steering and transmission cooling in Sonoma.

For lunch we enjoy some pulled pork sandwich.  Man was that good.  During lunch a package arrived on the doorstep .  Its contents, flywheel bolts, dictated the afternoon.  After lunch we got back at it, by added the exhaust manifolds and installing the transmission.

All this went fairly smoothly, so with the motor transmission together we moved to the next step.  Landing the motor into the car.  After some wigging and fiddling, we ended the day with the motor mounted. 
  
Next up, we now we need to finish the engine hookups and electrical work.
