Some pictures of my new carrier

[Jordan Baker]

Ive been busy with my engine. After 2.5 years I finaly got it back after having it rebuilt/built up from new. I had to take all the bits off of it so that it could be re-painted. I agonized for a few days trying to figure out what colour to repaint it. I decided on a light grey colour. #1 reason, I like the colour, #2 It will be easier to see once back in the hull and #3 its a bit different then being simply more green.

I managed to pickup over the past few years most of what I needed to make a "carrier" engine. Thankfully my first engine that came with the carrier had most of what I needed. However I have sourced out the NOS ignition suppresor, NOS fuel pump (new diaphram) oil cooler valve and NOS tubes, fuel selector switch and NOS generator suppressor. Ive also got NOS spark plug suppressors (not shown)

The John Deer was used to move the engine from one side of the barn to the other where my carrier is. That flathead is rather heavy but the tractor did a great job. I then used my Princess Auto engine hoist to lift the engine up. Right now I've got the engine resting on the rear horizontal plate until Im ready to lower it back into the hull.

Lastly I managed to get some new braided fuel lines made up at a local hydraulics store. I had to supply the braided fuel line but they put on the 1/4 BSP swivle connectors for me.
