She is finally home and my work is just starting. Got to strip and paint the rims and then start sorting the interior!
It's here!! Now all I've got to do is take it apart and send the heads and inlets to @paradox to work his magic!
Not sure but I think it's something like it. It's all a bit of voodoo magic but I trust Para. Is that a type 4 head?
No where near as crazy a build like that holmsen dude This is an engine thats running a standard cam and small carbs Its a holiday cruiser engine so the power and torque needs to be kept low down through to the midrange Port matching ,reshaping,removing restrictions and casting defects in the heads and inlet manifolds But not opening up the ports too much so as to keep the intake velocity up and the torque at useable rpm in a heavy bus Theres a lot of improvement to be made in the empi intake manifolds flow wise Its not exactly a soft alloy though Before After Just a final tickle needed and the intakes are done
Thanks I will be starting the headwork in a day or two so pics of that will follow Ill be starting with cleaning up the casting flash on the head cooling fins though as its a bit rough from the manafacturer
It's a bit of a shame I didn't have them on a running engine first so I could comment on the improvements just this has made but still really excited to see the end result.
