I'm voting for the ban hammer.

Seriously, who goes on holiday when there is a delivery like this? The masses demand pictures to placate them. Bread and circuses!

Allrightty...

I now have motor at home, been a while since it has been on stands lol, will be assembling bolt ons tomorrow..

Hydra, got your measurements mate, the manifold has runners that are slightly angled. The measurments are as follows for the length (from runner start to flange end):

Top = 64.7mmBottom = 75.8mm

Anyways here are some shots, will probably have some more frequent updates now:

Lovely work meminto, congrats! And I hope we see that engine running - and running HARD very soon!

Say did you ever get around to flow-testing that head?Would you also be as kind enough as to measure the sub-manifold's runner length so I can get a feel for the overall runner length used? I would venture to guess that its in the ~9-10cm range...

No not pitted, and no fuzz..., there is a straight score mark on a couple of lobes, not deep, just a mark...

They are straight off the machine...

I am not worried about it...
