The badges were made up by a Pelican member a few years ago, and are now sold thru Pelican. I don't think I paid a lot more for the 3.4 bit than I did for the 3.2 version 7 years ago.

Got heads 4, 5, 6 on today and their cam tower. She's a Flat 6 again, sorta. Also redid the breather gasket, t-stat o-ring and put a new pressure switch on. I may or may not get some done tomorrow, but I'm home most of this week, so I may get some evening work done. Next step: Cams and cam timing!
One of the cool things about this, is you get some visitors. Here's Mario's (cbad-box) SC with the heart of a Carrera. A sweet car, and its sound was some great motivation!

Ed thanks for including a few pics of my SC in this great thread. What I like most about those pics is whats going on in the back round of the second one, looks like Debbie is losing that tug of war!

Thanks for the kudo's on the silver/blue and yes a ducktail is on the to do list. Cosmetically the car came as you see it, she just got new rubber and last year the motor (3.4) and trans were updated.
Having the opportunity to watch Ed's build is an appreciated education. I pulled my drivetrain, did the brakes and other basic projects but did not have the confidence or experience to do a motor.
Ed back to you!!!

I'll try this again, picked the wrong date for the pics the first go...![grr](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/cussing.gif)
Well, with only a trip to OC tomorrow planned for this week, I got a little work done this evening. More cleaning of the chain boxes and then installation of them. I lubed the cams and journals and slid them in, ready to accept the timing gear, which I cleaned too. I also re-sealed all of the cam oil line fittings-they were never removed, but the seals are cheap! Pics of some of the various bits below. I've also included a pic of some of the necessary "chemicals" and aids for the builder during assembly.![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Lots to go still, but with a 3 day weekend coming up, I hope to wash the boat and then get some more parts back on. I'm down to only 50 baggies of parts to wash and slap on! A long way to go still, as I still do a few things to the chassis prior to re-installing the engine, including wiring the DME splitter, mounting it and mounting/wiring the new coils, inspecting the rear monoballs, clean up around the engine bay, etc. But, the focus is all motor for now. Gonna miss a DE the first part of May, which is bumming me out. My goal is to get this together before I head to Le Mans 6/9, or even better, Memorial Day weekend.
