yes keith exhausts are close but have about 25mm to rocker covers
had to fit between the rear bulkhead support bars with the cleveland
heads on the windsor not a lot of room will make some heat shields to
protect rockers one thing allways impacts on another

I built a torsion test rig years ago for testing my locosts , happy to talk rigs and share a few reports if you're keen

 

[Clayton]

Nice work on the arms Chris.
Shame you have to make a rig for beaming and torsional testing.
Good to see you're making progress though.

i agree with Ian a really fantastic build, makes mine look like a piece of crap
all the alloy work self taught
a real craftsman i hope to see it this weekend in the flesh may even
get a ride in it

[Ian Anderson]

Damn Chris I am jealous
I would love to see Jim's car in person and to get a ride in it, wow!

I must say your exhaust fabrication skills are fantastic did you get them similar lengths or just nice neat and tight fitting?

Cheers
Ian
