New Motor and fresh air for a friends 66

Last weekend we install a new Motor (rebuild 289 made by AHM Rosedale, Balanced, bigger valves with leadfree seats)

In my garage we found a nice old butterflyscoop. Because it was a little to high we made a very good fitting opening in the Hood

Looks nice, right?

looks good, except for the spark plug wire mess, clean that up and you got it

NExt week when im in Baltimore i get new ValveCovers, Radiator and wires for him. And when im back we also clean the Mess of the old blackwires

Looks nice, but definitely need to straighten up the wiring

Sweet looking ride. I agree with wires. Love the scoop though.

That is sweeet

Best is the side view.

First we tried to get it more to the front but then we needet to cut the hood frame. We made a new center to bolt it on from Aluminum (more stable than the cheap chinese thin metal plate) to adjust the Scoop in the frame.free section of the hood. The HEih was lucky exact that we hafe now so the tube wherethe butterflys bolted on is near exact the heigh of the hood

And after all that 5 hours to build an adjustment for the linkage so the butterflys open wide but cant block (Uwe loves to run full speed and loves the Show at the traffic light)

NExt step will be small lights under the hood so you can see the red polished butterflys better
