Yes its been rebuilt, not quite stock , no idea what timing gear but I would assume not fibre
Yes its Apache red, Nigel the bloke in the photo came home from hospital in the back of this car - was almost new then
It has enough cylinders - just the wrong colour

Looks a treat, Blacky - great work in the engine bay too... how some would drool at the opportunity to clean up an engine bay without the motor in situ....
Is it going yet?.... must be tempting..
frats,
