The weather is finally starting to break and I made it down to the shop to get the Okrasa motor installed. Im going back this week to button everything up. I am having a copper fuel line bent and brazed so its just 1 piece.
motor specs: 40hp case clearanced, Mahle 83mm pistons, Okrasa crank, Solex carbs, intakes, linkage and dual port heads with stainless valves, heavy duty oil pump, engle 100 cam, Scat billet oil filler plate, 6lb flywheel, alternator conversion with built in regulator.
making some "adjustments" so the new exhaust will fit

didn't like the way the fuel line looked so a good buddy made up this 1 piece copper line. Im waiting for some new banjo fittings that he can braze on but it will work for now.
the before and after -

FInally brought my car home today. Had a bunch of stuff done over the winter while it was at KD Designs. Full upgrade to AirLift V2 digital air ride management. Custom enclosure for the management wrapped in brown basketweave and polished copper hardlines. Had the VW airtank redone in a copper finish. We added another 5 gallon seamless tank in the back and wrapped it in the same basketweave.
