Holy moly that looks sexy in the bay, just gotta get a decent alternator bracket. You've shaved the heater box as well have you? I can't quite tell in the photo. Also, what inlet manifold is that?

hi willeyg i reckon you should go in between fully sick and granny spec ,wild on the inside but mild on the outside and keep your foot off the right peddle because you might get some bad publicity that you don,t need anyway all best with the build cheers billywest

Time to bleed the brakes again. Are you using the torana hand brake cables or the HQ ones. Is it still fowling plugs.

No use the torana one, just asking because you have HQ rear brakes.

It made good power, when are we going to Heathcote. Now you just need to pull that spacer from under the carby, get another air cleaner and a scoop so it will pass a RWC.
