i must ask tho. does the intake come over the top of alternator or did you move that to the other side?

Alternator is in it's original position, manifold sits over the top with plenty of clearance.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
Happy new year!
Where are you find the Weber is a 40mm DCOE on an original manifold?
Haven't you no problem whith your turbo, because you haven't intercooler?
Thank you.
Bye.

Running an intercooler with a suck-through set up is extremely dangerous. The fuel & air has already been mixed..

Unfortunately the gearbox broke a couple of weeks ago and we have not been able to source parts locally to get it fixed in time for this weekends Small Ford Sunday. The new interior isn't ready either so the car won't be at the show.
I'll still be there with all the others from NSW though.

Yes, car is up and running with a newly rebuilt gearbox. It was given a tune a couple of months ago, made just under 110 rwhp at around 10lb boost. The clutch was slipping so we didn't really push it. sundowner

Funny you should mention that, I use to own one many years ago which I was planning to restore, but the shell was too rusty. I kept all the parts for a rainy day though.

Looks so clean Theo. I'm really interested in this turbo set up and would like to know where you found the plenum that goes in between the Carb and Turbo? If I was to try to google one or search for one on ebay, what would it be called?
