Here's the 351C in my ERA FIA car during build-up. I installed a dummy engine so that I could get the headers fabricated (note aluminium cylinder head on left). Had two sets of headers made, one for the iron "BOSS" heads, and another set for the "High Port" Ford Motorsport aluminium heads.
I ended up milling a quarter inch off the top of the carb mounting pads, as it looked like they were going to hit the inside of the hood scoop (they actually stick right up through the hood opening).
Here's what the finished product looks like:
Not a lot of chrome - looking for that "retired race car" look. One of these days, I hope to get the aluminium heads on it.
regards,
Jeff
