Minor misunderstandings. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast, the internet that is. Let's just concentrate on the wonderful build thread Bill has started. We're all here to learn and enjoy exchanging information about metalworking.

Looking good so far Bill. Do you have a pic of what the end result will be, so we can see what you are building towards?

[Bill Gruby]

Hopefully it will be close to this Darren.

I agree Dave! I'll be following this with interest Bill.

Bill,

That's one serious project you're embarking on. Good luck and we'll all be watching this thread, I'm sure.

Thanx everyone. Sometimes a little encourgement helps to continue.

Next up was the Super Charger housing. Lots of boring here. It fits just ahead and is attached to the Gearbox.

Thanx.

Before moving ahead I wanted to do the oil pump. This was a nasty little bugger to do.The pix shows the print and blanks. Also some special tooling had to be made. It is an adustable center arbor for the faceplate.

Gear blanks had to be made.
