it takes a lot of parts to make such a sweet carburetor!!  😎 😎  Engine is looking sick!!!  The first time it is assembled 100% takes a lot of time..  and to assemble an engine correctly.. takes a lot of time.. You can’t throw this shit together like a stocker… 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Not much to show just yet, but it’s starting to look really good. Spent yesterday working on carbs and heater boxes.

6volt backing plate, voltage regulator modified & mounted to a 12volt generator, Porsche oil filter bracket, and repainted Bosch blue coil with a vintage bracket.

Both carbs had bad bearings, which is why I had the throttle shafts out. I ordered new ones yesterday.

Working late tonight to finish.

I am so happy…This engine is badass. The best vintage look 1914cc I can do. All original tin of various years, most importantly 61-62 stale air heater boxes… I also like that the fan shroud has the recess for the stock air filter to let you know that its original. Super time consuming engine build. 80+ hours on tin fit, paint, and assembly. The stale air heater boxes work best on a 1914cc because of the head-to-head width..I suppose a 2276cc could be done with some pain in the ass butt weld extending.

I’m waiting on the throttle shaft bearings to run. That’s it.
