Yeah, popped over yesterday to drop off the axle parts. Not much progress since last time
Dash was mounted, master cylinder moved & new master cylinder installed.
Header kit & rest of exhaust system should arrive next week, wiring should start soon, progress should look better next time I'm home
Car was also up on the ramp at the time, so no pictures I'm afraid
I'm away again Tues, so not that bothered
It will be done Sooooon

I will find out exactly whos the manf & what engine it was originally intended for.
Cost ? Probably around £1,000 mark
Coating alone is gonna be about £300
I told Andy Robinson what primary size & collector size I wanted & he sorted for me. It is more than likely Big Block Chevy.
Flanges are home made & I went with 2 1/2"primaries, as the motor is Blown went for as big as would fit. Headers are steel as opposed to Stainless, but will get them coated.
Going for 2 boxes, but may need 4 ? Not a lot of room, so may change the 4 Bar panhard ? to a sliding link to give more room

Too right

As I have always said, I will take it at my own pace in getting used to the car. If its not enough "Gung Ho" for some people thats there problem, not mine
