    When it comes time for a rebuild I will go mostly stock and I can tell my wife I only spent $4000 compared to what some guys spend. That may make her happy or easier to live with on that expense.
    That engine looks like it has the best of everything and I really appreciate the fact the you went to the extent you did to make it so complete, I think I would have to say I am really envious. Thanks for sharing!!

    do yourself a favor and break it in with a single carb and manifold so you don't destroy the rings and walls..................then switch to the multi carb manifold.........
    p.s. its a buty........
