The marine manifold would lean to the other side.

Good eye Trev

The carbs are just sitting there.

Cheers Keith, I will probably bring the rodeo, will the rear cut fit in the ute?

Picked up a warm grey for the ute today from Bob at Serpentine. :thumbsup:

Has a cam and has been balanced. Twin Stromberg's with Holley fuel pump and regulator.

Perry Headers & shiny bits. came up OK with a clean. Head looks like its been ported & polished (not sure about any valve work)

Nice set of deep dished rims also.

Will paint & install next break to see how she goes.

Gave the grey a bit of a tidy up before the install,

Nice solid timing geras, had the carbies rebuilt also, a quick shave on the fly wheel and in she goes.

Spare timing cover off the the platers, anyone have suggestion for a gromet for the rocker cover?
