I would go that route myself if I wasn't constrained by certain (Australian) registration requirements

Hi Glen,

No I haven't sourced anything yet, (I have first refusal though), as I am still trying to understand whether the period casting numbers on the Block/Heads/Tranny and Bell Housing, would be just a step too far.

At the end of the day no one will know, unless they have a spotlight to see the casting numbers or have a capability of counting up to 6

How can something be a replica, if its totally different to the original?

Mind you, BDR don't do too bad

Regards

David
