    Depending on your level of fab skills, you can cut and shut your own out of an EA CFI manifold, which was what some clued-up speedway racers used to use when there was nothing else around. Still only 2 barrel though, and maybe Weber pattern (not 100% on that) or close at least.

    I can only imagine how hard it is over there, it seems hard enough here with all the old models being much harder to find bits for now.

    I'd be pretty happy with that sort of power given I haven't spent bucket loads on it!

    I read that the manifolds weren't the best on a few posts on here. Problem is we have to import everything as there are no outlets in NZ for anything to do with the Xflows. We do get the V8 stuff, so can get clevo rockers and windsor ARP bolts for the rods etc but it's almost cheaper to get them from you guys over the ditch!

    I'm hoping the Aussie Speed guys export to us so I can grab a 4 barrel manifold...I've never seen anyone over here with one!

    From what I've read and seen in this forums, they're good for much more!

    I'm hoping for around 140-150rwhp, but really don't know. Hoping you guys would be able to give me a bit of an idea based on your experience.

    I will go 4 barrel once I've got it running and enjoyed it over the Xmas break.

    Hi Gerg

    Thanks for that.

    Engine should be a bit of fun, mainly did it up just to reacquaint myself with them and build one up myself. Probably haven't done everything I should have, but is a bit of an experiment and looking to build another in the near future and tossing up between a strong N/A or Turbo.

    As for carby, 350 holley on a Cain manifold. We don't get a lot of aftermarket gear over here, so was looking at Aussie Speed 4 barrel manifold and I have a 465 vac sec carb lying around...thought this might be better once I get it running? Also, ignition is hall effect with msd 6al programmable unit.

    A few pics of the head I mucked around with.
