Looks like a lot of money tied up in that engine.

The real issue will be does the owner know how to tune it . . . individual runners can be tricky.

It is a stunning looking setup! So help me out here. I see four 2 bbl side draft carbs. What kind of carb are they? And yes, the con rods are excellent in their utilitarian simplicity!!!

I ain't been that nice. Probably the engine for that chrome transmission. A beautiful looking induction system.
