thanks! Now if I can get it to run as well as it looks!. Bogging under load. It has to be timing or carb is starving

Carb looks like stock so how did you get the triangle air cleaner to fit. Engine looks really great. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I still have more I'd like to do. Im considering a turbo motor for it. I'm thinking it would give a 2100lb car some zip! Here's a pic of the adapter plate I made. (it pays to have a good friend with a machine shop and waterjet!)

It does help to have friends with any kind of fabrication shop. Adapter looks like very good workmanship.
