....like the 'ol Johnny Cash song
...."one piece at a time...."
The block and heads are aluminum - not too heavy one by one. There is no crank, rods, or pistons - the vibration dampner is made out of plastic tubing and fiberglass. Since those pictures were taken, I have had to remove the Webers and put them back on the car. I bought some chrome-plated plastic
replica Webers, but have not found time yet to detail and install them on the display engine (busy restoring a '57 'Bird out in the garage).
My car is running fine with a heavy-duty XE Aussie block Cleveland. After spinning the car off-course at MIS a few years back, I've given up on my visions of doing any serious open-track or autocross stuff with the car. Too much time and money invested - would rather keep it in one piece.
