Hmmm, red motor Norman... are you running a red motor grantley? If it's on a grey, be careful of the boost or you will snap the crank...

hi there
i have been doing a lot of research about the norman boosts and pressures
its a grey 138 or 132?
i want it to look as old school as possible
period correct as i can
grantley
ps i am under driving it
i am trying to keep it all under the fj bonnet i dont think there is a norman set up like this
the carb will sit on top of the rocket cover and miss the under bonnet by 10 to 15 mm i hope
making steel manifold now
the car is going in the chopped mag soon as finished
