spot on there dave heres a couple of pics to get an idea, heres the link to a lot of my pics on the build up, as dave has pointed out it needed a lot of sheet metal work, thank god i,m a welder/mechanic by trade http://www.moparuk.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=
Bloody hell Jim, that's even worse than I remember it. You've worked wonders with it since then.
Did I see your car on a show field over Stourbridge way in the summer?

Nice one, and well deserved.
The car's looking beautiful.
I did look out for you, but you must have gone walkabout while we were there.
Next time mate.

I definately second that quote!
Posted: 14 Oct 2010 8:16once again fellas thank you for your kind comments just got back from the states (florida) picked up some edelbrock performer rpm ally heads while i was there, was going to get the stealth heads but by the time you replace the keepers and retainers the eddy,s are only $250 extra and stuffing them in the suitcase saves on postage so worked out at £1100 with gaskets etc. i,m in the same situation as dave robbo regards water leaking from cyl heads, only i,m on my 2nd set of heads which have cracked under the centre exhausts ports hopefully the eddy heads will put an end to it
Posted: 14 Oct 2010 8:55You are going to make more power with the Edelbrocks over the Stealths but you will need 11:1 or maybe 11.5:1 compression ratio.
Nice though. Should work out well for you.
