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

drool

How bloody good does that engine look with those carbs!!

That is F*CKING SH*T HOT!



Cheers

Looks sensational

nice one DR

awesome setup

That look's so good I hope mine come's out half as good.How much room do you have between fan & radiator,how are you mounting your radiator I dont seam to have much room what sort of radiator are you going to run/how thick. sorry to pick your brain so much your help would be great could you post pic of how it's mounted please

That is one very impressive looking setup . Excellent work Mephious .

Nice lookin build coming along here, please post as much as you can when it comes to setting up the six carbs and how your going to run them.

Wow,

I just love how all the guys who tackle the mighty FB/EK do it with such passion.

Well done looks tops.

Regards Greg

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

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.

Yep they are a strange bunch.

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



Clearance for the radiator, bit more room now.

Remember my reaction to the carb setup Mephious ! I just cannot get it outta my head , I probably think about it maybe once a day .... Its the best
