Wow, another engine without the top cylinder tin??  |
Suppose most of these folks are going for that retro open-air cooling look like on vintage radial aircraft?

When in doubt, just give everything a generous coat of black and silver spray paint, right?
They even did the oil cooler and pressure plate.

They shot the distributor (and part of the pump) orange too! But hey, at least they taped the paint-can cap over the dizzy cap to keep paint out of the plug-wire holes!

I would really like a better look at that excellent high rise intake manifold/carb/linkage setup. Top notch engineering to be sure.

I'm not sure what it could even fit in besides a dune buggy. Even a hardtop Baja I think it wouldn't clear unless the rear window was hacked out. Being a 36 hp maybe it would look cool in a hebmuller dragster with the engine lid removed. |

The transmission they are using is quite the sight too. I've never seen anything like it, air shift. It's a crazy build, and fast |

Probably saved three pounds. Better 1/8 mile times that way.
