Clutch is in. Timed it all up correctly with a DTI. Heads on along with 1:5:1 full roller rockers. Just got to torque it up tomorrow.



Note DSN slave bracket. Saved a nice bit of weight with that!

Thanks blue, I'm sure you'll get it done eventually!

I really need a pedal box now. Still waiting on JB. Almost wish I didn't ask and just bought one. Did you find out which ratio/cylinders you needed?

Cheers

I actually face booked them and they said they used the bigger ratio one of the 6.25 to 1 ratio as opposed to the 5.1 to 1 ratio!!! So I think I will go with the 6.25 one and have the fancy looking pedals this one:

as opposed to this one:

Have you sent money to JB for a pedal box then?

Love the work!

You sure the composite engine steady bracket etc will be good? Not going to fatigue or the glue come apart?

Also, swan neck . Can you not get some sort of weber box I
On it if you have to use a weber?

Well i guess the 6.25 gives more power as such. If i got it the right way round?

No i haven't he is working from a standard pedal box so i'm going to wait and see what he comes up with.

Love the work!

The steady came from Arc angels, so i would imagine its been tested... he says haha.

Yea i want to see how well it fits first, i know there not the best manifold but its probably better than the HIF44 and i could port it a bit. I am tempted by cutting the bulkhead and putting a box in but i'm not to sure!

it will be either on a par or worse. will definatly use more fuel than a HIF :/ i would definatly put a box in. even if its a diddy one and you get the shortest good manifold from maniflow it will be a huge improvement! comon, you cant build a beast like this and stick a swan neck on it!
