Here are some more pics of the engine. Going to fire it in the chassis as soon as my new Dewitt's rad arrives. As you can see I had the modify my choke tubes to run this 340hp set-up with my FI exhaust manifolds. Hopefully I can get the correct FI unit next year (just need the 10K). I also have to still get the correct oil filler cap, carb spring & mount and alternator pulley.






Cheers,

Looking good! Keep it up.

It looks like you have the exhaust manifolds opposite of their correct positions. I believe the choke tube goes on the passenger side.

No, as per my original post above, I have FI exhaust manifolds on the car which are opposite to the carb cars. This is an FI car albeit the FI unit was taken off and sold a few years back. Everything else is still there hence the wrong manifolds for the 340hp carb set-up.

As everything else on the car is #'s match and date correct I plan on getting the FI unit back on so am leaving everything set-up for it. The extension hose's from the other side should work OK for now.
