Look like stock Solex 32 PCIs, notice the manual choke levers. I wonder what the linkage and manifolds are off of?

Hallo Tylergeddis,
The Engine was built for a Customer and is not my Engine.
It started out with a rebuilt short block and an incomplete AutoTechnik "Express" kit. Dual 28pci Carburators are used on this.
The "Monolith" center mount linkage was missing and had to be fabricated. Lenny Kopp was kind enough to let me get dimensions from one of his Engines.
Single Port Heads, bone stock 36hp (don't remember what year).
"OddBall Okrasa"

is that the same motor? the bottom one has different manifolds, kadrons, linkages, fuel pump, filler tower, pulley etc? i would have thought that even if you were completely rebuilding you would keep the fuel pump and filler tower.

Hallo Herr Roberts,
Sorry for the confusion. No it is not the same Engine. Just posting a random picture to stir the pot.
Later,
Al

Hallo,
Ja, it is a 356 Fuel Pump on the Engine.
The Engine is not a 2pc case Posche; it is a stroked and bored Okrasa. I really can't divulge any details on this Engine.
