Okay, I've been taking to heart the postings on doing this right the first time. I've decided to modify my plans for the year a bit. Here's the new plan--any thoughts or changes I should make?
Summer
1. Radiator and Fuel clean/repair: trying to solve the overheating issus from last year, I'm going to have the radiator cleaned/recored as necessary, and clean out the fuel tank and lines.
2. Drive the newly cleaned out Tunebug as much as possible (still on the 948/smooth case).
3. Strip the 1275 down and have it checked out to determine what needs to be done.
4. Save money.
Fall/Winter, or as financing allows
1. Rebuild the 1275 properly, as a good strong street engine.
2. Select a kit and use the 5-speed with the fresh 1275.
3. Rebuild disc brake front end and install.
I'd like to be able to do more right now, but I'm feeling the financial crunch these days. I'm really glad I motivated to acquire the bits I have over the last few months, but now it's time to take a step back and rebuild the budget for the next push.
