    The engine is coming together, 496 BBC should give it the necessary grunt...

    Going back in January, too cold here in B.C. Don't think I'll make it to the GNRS but it's on my bucket list.

    More parts coming together, finally got the carbs & linkage, takes time to put all the bits together, still rounding up small things.

    Out of the garage under it's own power at last. Issues with fuel pressure regulators held me up, had to go to a 2 stage return style. Some tweaking to do as with any ground up build, never perfect right off the bat, but it's outside and laying rubber. 20250422_145934.jpg 20250422_145827.jpg 20250422_145906.jpg 20250422_150052.jpg 20250422_150209.jpg 20250422_145758.jpg IMG_1369.jpg 20250422_145845.jpg
