I had a customer who has a Dec. 1952 "Zwitter" and wanted the dual carb. look and decided the W.West dualport kit would suit his needs.
He was concerned about using his original 25hp sheet metal including his 25hp head tin. He didn't want to use the later 36hp head tin that
is necessary to use with the W.West DP kit so I did a "little" mods. to the heads. Got it all together and the owner loves it!

Enjoy photo!

Hello, can I ask about the bracket there for the oil filter... is that just a temporary fix until the motor is installed? Or will the bracket be fitted there with the exhaust?

thanks!

Martin

Hey Martin. The bracket that you see in the photo is for demonstration purposes ONLY. It represents where the oil filter bracket would be
mounted in relation to the bumper bracket. This full flow system is from Gene Berg and they include necessary hardware to mount.

awesome build! Your engines are always so clean.

btw where did you find the full flow cover? I think i saw you had a mill in another thread. did you make it? Or is it a NOS gene berg unit?

thanks

that is what I figured... just checking. Also trying to work out how to mount a remote filter when the motor isn't in the car, its going to the Dyno for first start and tune up.

I do have a Bridgeport mill but I didn't make the full flow cover. Instead, I purchase the full flow filter kit from Gene Berg.
