Thanks
Isn't it feasible that the owner/builder of the car is replicating an early Comp 427?
If so, fitting a cast steel bell housing rather than a modern scattershield would most likely be period correct.
That said, fitting AutoMeter gauges and a Speedhut GPS aux. speedo doesn't fit with "period correct"

Cheers (again from my armchair perspective )
