If you are buying a new block, then a weber shouldn't be that much more of an investment. Unless, of course, you are buying from RPi. Check out summitracing.com and search for the Weber 500.

I moved the steering box because 1. the rear manifold pipe did not lend itslef to more extreme reworking without having access to a large pipe bender. thus ending u...

Ok all done, mainfolds fitted.

I had to cut out , reshape and reweld the rear most RHS manifold pipe and move the stearing bosx 1 cm to the right (away from the engine)

Do not buy these manifolds they dont fit.

arrgh. oh the frustration - the damn steering arm clashes with the RHS rear manifold pipe. as long as you dont want to turn left they are great. I would reccomemnd that whilst the manifolds look the part (all curvy and scrumy) they do not fit properly, and thus should be avoided unless you want to s...
