Or anywhere else if they turn up on the endangered species list.............................maybe they can be claimed as dependents on your tax return......................Good luck trying to evict them in California
Did you ever get the binding issue resolved? Do all cortex k members (including the sla) bind there at full droop?

No, I had been focusing on several other aspects of the build. Since then I've been focusing on other aspects of my life. I've been away from the project for far too long. I hope to resume with a renewed vigor soon though!
I don't know about other K-members.

Yikes, I guess it's really been 10 months since I've posted here!
For a long time I just haven't been putting in the time, and the longer this goes on, the harder it is to adjust my time and re-focus, but I've made some more progress lately. I have finally gotten rid of all the unnecessary chassis remnants of my original car, and everything but the chassis from my salvage purchase. Just one car now, the same color and same components as my original. It's hard not to think of it as the old wreck, in fact most of it IS the old wreck!
Over a year ago I started installing all the components for my differential & transmission cooler. I couldn't fit 2 pumps and 2 fan packs in the back, so the transmission pump had to find another home. My solution? I fabricated a mounting bracket to attach to the transmission mount and have routed and secured all the hoses.
I now have fully serviced diff and trans fluid in closed systems, I still need to wire up relays and switches for the pumps and fans, and sending units to the temp gauges. That to be revisited later.
Another casualty of my 'incident' was my oil cooler. I've had it sitting on a shelf ever since, assuming that I need a replacement. It had about a 30 degree twist between the left and right side tanks and one of the AN nipples was kinda bent too. With nothing more to lose, I clamped one side tank between blocks of wood in my shop press, clamped a 6ft long 2 x 4 to the other tank, and just laid into it. it straightened out almost perfectly! I've bench tested it to 200PSI and no leaks so I think with a few passes of a cooling fin comb, It'll be good to go!?
I've had my head in the sand surrounding all the electrical stuff necessary for an engine run. Fear that my wiring harness may have hidden collision damage, and a little intimidation over understanding all the computer module communication requirements has held me back. No more dancing around this. I've obtained the proper OBDII to USB cable and downloaded FORScan. Mucking my way through becoming literate with the software but making progress. After resolving several ground issues I have confirmed that, indeed my electronics and wiring are talking to each other correctly. What a confidence and motivation booster!!!
Yesterday I connected battery power for the first time... No smoke, no fire!!!! just the expected dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree... followed by a successful no-start engine crank to verify starter and prime oil & water pump. My motivation is now alive and well!!
And today, I know the engine and associated systems are too!:
