Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

This is what the interior looks like now. In the first photo right behind the shifter there is a black line running perpendicular to the car that is the front of my seat placement. The toe panels are removable, that's where the coils are for the motor. Because the car is so low I am concerned with ground clearance. So the motor is higher than normal for me. So this creates more problems in the interior. I didn't want a big tunnel so everything is fit very closely wherever possible. If you look at the first photo you will see a small bump to the left of the tunnel. That's the 3rd 4th shifter lever. It's the only one that caused a problem. I didn't want to make the tunnel that big everywhere just for that one arm. When the interior is in you won't see it. I hope

Now the motor ( my dad hated it when I called an engine a motor! I can still here him "a motor runs on electricity and an engine runs on fuel") I still call them motors, it makes me think of my dad.
Anyway, I don't have any experience with the new LS motors so I took it to a place that does. I asked them to disassemble it for me and give me the block, heads, pan, and cam cover. I had the block powder coated black and the rest of the parts polished.
When they disassembled it they called me and ask that I come over. Internally it was real dirty, it looked like a bad clean job. The mains where scored and one cylinder wall was scratched. I knew they run these before they are shipped but the way I drive I didn't want this put back together like this. So it got line honed, cam and mains, stud kit and a new cam and springs and cylinders honed.
We made our own fuel delivery system and adapters to put early style valve covers on it also.
If you look at the fuel rail there are 8 fittings per side, 4 for fuel and 4 for electrical for the injectors. Then there is a distribution block at the back which will have 16 polished stainless 5/16 lines going to the rails.
I'm probably going to offend someone But I hate engine covers. (my dad would be proud)
