Ro ,have you thought about plumbing in your outlet lines of your pumps in hard pipe i.e. stainless or aluminum? The heat will rise and it really works on hoses and you have less chance of leaks and fire?

I am looking for a supplier for the louvered rear covers instead of the Gulf and mesh versions on the standard Superformance.


Does anyone have a supplier, or a template? I see enough to know that they're around. The pic is of the pieces I'd like to replicate.


I'm happy to go to a machine shop, but if someone provides them, that is better.


Thanks,


Ron

More work by Paul. We have had a setback with the intake manifold weeping water. A common issue with old castings as I understand.

A lot of fantastic work on customizing the headers for the Gurney heads and Paul’s megaphones are really nice.

Yes. Paul has been a Godsend. Trying to upload a video of it running, but I need to change the extension type I believe. Need some editing software.
 
I heard he had left. Its good he's still around, tell him I said hi! My car was done at Olthoff's and I made it out a couple times and spent quite a bit of time with Paul on my car, great guy!

Wonderful music!!!!!
There’s nothing in the world that has such a sweet crisp sound as the throttles cracking on a Weber inducted small block Ford.....
 
Well done! Question about the rear, it appears you have two rear clamshell holddowns (the vertical posts on top) vs spf that often have one single post. Did you have that done post factory build?

the "dual pins" are a factory option from Superformance
 
Congrats on the first run ! I'm a long time reader here and that's the best throttle crack you can have - the SBF . The woohoo at the end says it all.

I'm chasing some originality to the road cars. Can anyone identify the following in the attached photos?
