Ken, are you sure you didn't either design or work on aircraft in a previous life?
Your mounting of components and plumbing of lines and electrical blows my mind. It reminds me of my days at Douglas Aircraft. Any Quality Control Inspector would have trouble finding fault with your work.

Thank you, I haven't worked in that industry but if the economy doesn't pick up maybe they would hire me!

I didn't get much done, made a new air conditioner manifold so the lines would run toward the motor out of sight instead of toward the side panel. Welded up the water pump heater outlets and moved them 90 degrees down to the bottom, hopefully out of sight. Then all four lines go into the frame.

Ken you pack everything in so nicely in these tight spaces!
It makes my knuckles painful just thinking about trying to work in those tight places!

Honestly it isn't that hard once everything is done, I have a secret on how I take them apart for paint. It will be easier to show you when I get there. Originally Posted by stovens

Ken, I thought you were kidding about the 12 cylinder Ardun, but now realize you were serious.
When I see stuff like this I realize how much of a hacker I am. Where would a person even begin on something that complicated?
I'm happy if I can get an engine together the way it came from the factory!!
BTW, this thread has been one of my favorites on here. Keep the photos and info coming, please.

That looks good Ken. With all of the systems and plumbing you have on this one you are going to have some work cut out for you when you blow it apart for paint. Your '32 is a very intricate, complicated build..........I wouldn't know where to begin.
