Riceburner Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I'll be waiting for the video, sans dancing! How about 8 Keihin FCR down draughts? Quote
Scoota G Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 I have an Edelbrock combo to start with but some heat out the bonnet is something i always wanted to do. There's a quad cleveland manifold on ebay atm! Quote

Scoota G Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 Ha ha. How'd you get that last photo? First i tried various methods (Pic 1). Then Hired a photographer. Quote
Sirpent Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Scoota ! Just had a look at the posts on this one Nice project, but Lucinda ? I would have thought more Lucifa because it looks like it will be one hell of a ride and sound from the rear of it. Cheers John Quote
Wayne G Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 The project looks like it is really coming along! The picture of the manifold on ebay must be the funniest thing I have seen in a while Quote
Scoota G Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 Meh, i do what i can. Really want it ready for the BBQ this year. John, refer to the first build page which will explain the name of the vehicle. More progress, the alternator is fitted from a VS V8 Statesman and has had the front cover changed to suit the ford motor. Fuel and brake lines are back on, Diff, Halfshafts and Tailshaft are in and exhaust has been fitted. Seeing as it came with the $200 conversion kit i bought i was expecting to have to modify it. Turns out it is one of the best fitting exhausts i have ever seen and just needs a rear muffler and tip to complete it. It fits really tight up to the underbody. Quote
Scoota G Posted September 26, 2012 Author Posted September 26, 2012 Chasing a few parts now. If anyone has an aftermarket manifold laying around for a cleveland (doubtful) i would snap it up. Oil relocation, spark and fuel are all that it needed to fire. Cleaned the valve train, exhaust is on for good and everything else is torqued to spec. Quote
Sirpent Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 You really know how to burst a bubble dont you Scoota LMAO Here I am sitting on the edge waiting for the clip to load, start then stall, load some more and then, oh yeah this is all I can give you for the moment ! Looking forward to seeing it fire up. Quote
Scoota G Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 It's one day's work and $250 away from starting, another day + $400 and it's driveable. Quote

Scoota G Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 Me and teddy lov your work mate cant wait to see it in flesh. Awesome Bruce I now have the intake bolted down and spark. There is 8mm between the air cleaner wingnut and the modified bonnet. Quote
