Getting there now with the head on, cam, hydraulic lifters, and new pushrods fitted. Oil pump pick up shortened to allow for the longer gears and now lower pick up height.

You doing anything fancy with the main caps ? They look to be stock with stock bolts in your photos - not planning on revving the pizzle out of this so no need ?

. . . but it's what's in the background that's caught my eye, with which I spy -

- a Repco head
- a right-angle magneto drive
- steel main bearing caps
- a most clever full-flow oil filter conversion using the fuel pump flange for mounting and the existing hole in the crankcase to get the oil in and out
- two SUs canted over at a ridiculous angle for road use, suggesting
- marine application?
