Default Engine Build update

The engine build is nearly finished now, 347 stroker, (all forged) starting to look really good.

Had a couple of weeks off with a knee rebuild and was a little surprised when I went back into the workshop to check on the build progress.

Eddie had rummaged around in his piles of stuff in the workshop and attached some of the "stuff" he had lying around to my engine.

Then he explained that I couldn't keep the bits, at that point I tried to pick up the engine with my hands and run, sadly the knee wasn't up to it.
Original manifold and weber carbs. Looks really nice but with my engine configuration and date of build commencement, I couldn't use them if I wanted to.

Anyway this is what it will look like when all torqued down, with twin impco gas carbies

Will soon be bolting the rest of the drive train to it and installing into the chassis, Go-Cart time.
