was just about to say that looks like a marine manifold with the lean on the carbs, unless it's an optical illusion

The marine manifold would lean to the other side.

Good eye Trev

The carbs are just sitting there.

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?
