Engine mounts are critical!


The mounting of the engine ,transmission and over drive in perfect alignment with the pinion gear is critical at the 10,000rpm that the drive will turn at 330 mph. Tuesday evening Roland had the powertrain frame out and ready for the engine and transmission by about 4:45 pm. Werner and Peter and I spent the next 4 hours measuring adjusting, lifting, blocking measuring again until we had it clamped perfectly. Now tonight we can build the mounts and send the power frame to Apex for coating before the show.
