just a bit more progress, rebuilt the gearbox and painted it in the "Grey" colour i want to use for my engine, i know it is not an original colour but i want to paint it that colour anyway.....it can be easily changed if required. I noticed when i got the castwork back from Lincoln that there was a bit broken off in the top, will it cause any problems guys ?
     if you look at the inside of the top cover you will see the three sliding rods that go into the casting. where it meets the casting there is like a hole with a bit of cast webbing over this secures the rod in place. one of these is now missing, will it cause any issues ?  Cheers Richie

The business end of that hole is the other end. That bit makes no difference.

Aidan it is not that heavy matey i can lift it around and i am a weed weighing in at 11.5 stone...... even the main block was not that heavy Martyn and I lifted mine into the trailer which i was shocked at.... the only other thing which i want to do for the box is to put a large magnet onto the sump plug....straight cut gears tend to leave a healthy amount of swarf in the oil.......well that has been my findings on race box's anyhoo.
once i have got the block linebored and the crank done it will be built up again. My holley carb is totally screwed so another will have to be sought out.......unless i go downdraft 45 DCOE with a blower......hmmmm tee hee.
