Also there are two types, the early one has a single outlet & this is the later one with two. With you running the carbs you need the early one or blank off the smaller outlet on the later one.
Also are you not chaning the alternator bracket for the Sport one to run the carbs?
Keep up the good work

I have a proper Sport one there mate so might use that
There's also an alternator bracket at the lockup as well - Really need to sort everything out so I know what's going on and what to use
Cheers for the comment Rich - Much appreciated :)
Small update for today - Painted the engine bay and around the headlights on Tuesday night
Went in today and buffed it up with G3 to see how it turned out and also buff out where I'd blended the new paint to old - Looks decent enough and I'm happy with it:

Got the starter and oil breather thing back onto the engine - With a new gasket - Was the one I needed with one outlet instead of the one with 2 outlets shown above^^^

Alternator and alternator bracket fitted - Got the lowering bracket as well but I think that needs to be fitted when the inlet manifold is fitted ?

Hopefully tomorrow will see the hoses all connected up, rad in place and maybe exhaust manifold and carb/inlet manifold fitted up as well - Get it closer to firing up!!!
Comments welcome

Engine bay looks good, when are the carb's going on?
No idea mate - The plan is to get them rebuilt/serviced but run the engine on a standard carb until the 40's are done
It WON'T be going on the road with the standard carb it's just so I can hear the engine running and save less hassle but when it goes on the road it WILL have the 40's fitted :)
Engine bay looks a mess with the flash of the camera but it's really nice and I'm very happy with it
looks gid m8
Looking good there Vaughan. Like the position of the coolant and wiper bottle. Are they staying there? lol
looking good chum........:thumb::thumb:
Cheers Stevie, Tek and William :) Bottles aren't staying there mate just trying to give myself the most access
Me and my mate Greg started to put my engine together today - Decided to use the standard carb and exhaust manifold to fire the engine up just incase theres any expensive problems with the engine and I don't want to spend all the money on the manifold and have nout left to sort the engine if anything goes wrong
So we fired on the standard inlet and exhaust for the time being so we can run the engine and make sure it's tidy then the 4 branch will be bought and the 40's rebuilt and serviced then everything will be dandy
Excuse the dirty/rusty parts lol
