    Engine is back in and everything going back together. Should be up and running by Wednesday and hopefully back on road by Friday.

    Made alot of progress today. Got the carbs on, linked them all up, got the manifold exhaust wrap on and started all the fuelling lines. Mounted the fuel pump and filter king to. Very happy so far

    i would not mount the fuel pump next to the engine as on warm days when your sitting in traffic it heats the petrol in the pump up an it starts to vapour lock. also think these pumps prefer to push rather than pull could be wrong tho bud
