Re: [VintageLambo] Part Manuals

Hi Jack, I may be able to contribute some time at the flatbed, but if not I"ll make some copies and send them to Fred too. Sadly, www.lambomiura.com is up to date.:-(I"m taking time off during the holiday season and plan to spend a lot of it finishing the Urraco so I can put it up for sale.(Still thinking fly yellow.) I expect to give Bobileff a significant infusion in January so he can drag the Miura out of the corner, dust it off, and continue some work while the Urraco sells.I"d love to take the Miura to Monterey in August, but we"ll see. I haven"t done any of the SV rear suspension conversion work that was discussed a few months back, but I did buy the Espada lower control arms. I"ve been debating all the pros and cons, and still think that I will do the conversion.It"s clear that such "improvements" in the car could greatly add to the restoration cost.For example, do I bore out the intake runners, port the heads, and put an S grind on the cams?(That is the only difference between the stock engines.)Split sump?(Yes!)Deep oil pan? Extra chassis work ala SV?Interior?Vented rotors?CV joints?Where to stop?I suppose as much as I can afford.:-) Chris >From: Jack Riddell >Reply-To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com >To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com >Subject: Re: [VintageLambo] Part Manuals >Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2002 15:23:31 -0800 > >Hi Chris, > >I think we are talking about the same book.
