Nope. As the previous owner I can safely say, Hubcaps are original from the first owner, still intact. Rhys

well got the car back this morning, and i cant explain how much better it feels, great throttle response down low and all the way through the rev range and a whole lot quicker,would never go back to the 350 holley now and what a great noise those twin 40's make, hopefully will get a dyno run soon to see the diffence in power compared to the old 60 hp stocker i had [:p] heres a pic i took with my phone of the new engine Download Attachment: DSC01259.JPG48.53 KB

Well done Dave, I saw your car in at Alan's during the week, and it was looking good.
My cortina was two doors down getting finished off.

well finally got my car on the dyno after the new engine and twin 40s all in and set up, car run fine air fuel ratios were great all exactly spot on so was happy with that, bit dissapointed with the power it made only 64.8 kw/86.91 hp atw,but i had a massive dent in my exhaust which probably bring the diameter down to about 1 - 1.25 inch so fixing that shood see a decent gain yet again heres the dyno printout
