The whole skin of the fan shroud was made from scratch and the ends of engine tins

NICE! That engine turned so good. I love the black IDAs, too.

A LOT of pretty faces here! Frenchys engine just rock my boat! But it lacks the Magneto ;)
I'm amazed by the small dimensions on peoples breather tubes, smaller than stock in some cases... not for high rev'ing applications I guess.
Has anyone done modifications to the engines mo make them easier to work on? Not necessarily visible... show your tricks ;)

Since the topic didn't say nice detailing nor killer engines I can probably post picture of mine, which at the moment looks like shit :-[ :'( I have to sort it for next summer as I need to remove it from the Oval anyway to get the gearbox overhauled. The car is 53 year old original paint one so at least the engine isn't prettier than the car it's in ;D
I got ill-fitting repro tinware, visible especially around the dipstick. The fact that it's an Oval and I live in city and have to park it outside doesn't help; if it's raining, and it sometimes does in Finland, the water runs straight into engine bay as the drainage was introduced in 1958(?). The Cabriolet lid adds to the looks but lets even more crap into engine bay.
I am using the Lumenition ignition with the 009 so there is more wiring than I would like to have. Besides cleaning, re-organizing the wires, new breather box, black dizzy cap & pulleys are on the list too.
