Nice! What kind of manifolds are those? Looks like they are shorter and closer to the fanshroud to give more decklid clearance.




thoes manifolds are old school shorty race trim 5 inches shorter

I thought so. Nice touch Paul! I was thinking about doing that with my snowflakes. How did you do it? Tinted clear coat?

Have some more cleaning up to do (like the fuel line and wires Laughing ), but I got some things painted the other day... oh, and I took the stinger off immediately after I ran it for 1 mile HA!

It's getting close though

It is cool of you to share your build process and details with others. Thanks for doing the legwork, and for not suing me. Laughing

I like the look as if was done 40 years ago, all the way down to the heavy duty black coil. Billet and plastic is not for me.

I am looking for different air filter tops, more of the period correct look if possible. Any ideas anyone?

Back in the late 70's I can dual Dells with K&N filters so you're engine look correct for that period.

But if you do fancy a change, these are slick:

Try ISP west, they used to have them.

Two more old school sets from the classifieds:

Deanos are cool if you like PURPLE Exclamation

And as seen on Doctor's car above, RamFlo filters

I did the searching because your engine looks tops. Nice and subdued, very "German" looking.
