Most welcome mate :) will take you up on the offer at some point .... still anxious to see the wagon !

Next time your in the area we can take a run to see the red one.

Heres some progress photos guys, my apologies for the latency.

Braking has been completed, HQ Master Cylinder with HQ calipers and rotors up front. HQ Drums on the rear of the 9inch. VH40 located under the tray behind the drivers seat in the back of the van.

Engine is in just for measuring ..... steering needs to be altered slightly as the steering arm is fouling on one of the spark plugs. Current rocker covers are again mock and not permenant. No extractors on yet and the long water pump will be pulled off for a short one.

Looking more forward to this EK then the supercharged one I think :roll:

Cheers guys for the feedback, greatly appreciated.

Alot of people gave me odd looks when first contemplating the carb set-up and my idea for the van. I have mates that still dont agree with what im doing hahahaha. Never realized some rodders were so taboo :shock:

With the radiator ... I dont intend to stick it on the outside of the radiator support bar like my sedan. The current pump will be changed which should allow plenty of room for the radiator.

As for the fuel set-up ... will be an electric pump, ran via a holley 1 - 4psi regulator into a 3 way fuel log. Three carbs feed via one outlet, three carbs feed via another outlet and a fuel gauge for the last.

Bit of an update and a few pics with a better camera,

The steering linkage has been adjusted, the short pump installed and the extractors are in.

Funny rake with the standard rear end and the dropped spindles :wink:

Clearance for the radiator, bit more room now.
