Actually, the fuel pump cutout was purposely left out in the design. I am a symetrical kinda guy when I design stuff and the designs with the cutout i came up with were just silly, so I decided to go with an electrical pump. ....well money is tight and I decided functionality had to over rule form in this case, so I cut it out.

One of my other ideas was to make longer spacers to clear the fuel pump.....that was great until I tried to put the balancer on  :banghead:

Looking very clean Brad! I just gotta wonder, and this is just the devil's advocate in me noticing this, the fuel tank right behind your head? It's not a fuel cell........just......well......would be concerned bro.

Ran into some snags with the starter today. the one i had was a plane jane oem ford starter. it was struggling to turn the motor over with a fully charged battery. i drove to the other side of town to figspeed to pick up a new high torque starter....turns out it wouldnt work...the starter gear would come out, but not fully connect with the flexplate. so i did some calling around to ralph and paul cane (high flow dynamics) and went with a factory early 90's ford f-350 starter....which is fords oem high torque starter for an automatic tranny....which should work with the flexplate.

of course, i ran out of time and had to scoot off to work (with no sleep)....ill get it put in tomorrow morning. if it doesnt work, im screwed.

that explains a lot. When I called them, they asked if I knew if there was a difference between the two because all the info they had on it was it was for a 'ford'...no notes on the part number in the system for weather it was SBF or BBF. I pulled my starter and compared measurements over the phone and everything was dead on to what they had....and assumed it was for a BBF....and everything bolts up correctly, it just wont engage. so now I know. Thanks Jim!

that gives me hope that I'm not screwed  :thumbup:
