Wow, a lot of work went into that!!

A few questions:

What is it doing in the middle of a parking lot?

Who would go through the trouble of doing all of that to an engine and put on the old 6 blade fan?

Or, put the old style primer pump on. Industrial art?

I noticed some things missing:

Starter.
Intake-Alda line.
Cruise actuator.
Throttle linkage.
EGR/Bowden cable controller.

Not really major items, but things one would expect with a build this nice.

There would be a hanging due if it ended up like this.

One more thing missing:

Vacuum orifice to the brake booster.

Now that looks more like mine...except it doesn't have the oil coating the starboard side due to the &$%# oil return line (from the separator) leaking like a sieve for one reason or another...

SOMEDAY my engine'll look halfway decent...someday...
