inlet manifold inlet opened out to port match with the gasket and the radius inside smoothed and blended

hit a few snags putt ing all back togeather, the main one was the bolt holes for the rear lifting hooks so i had to take them off and file the holes open slightly

have only taken it for a quick spin around the block but throttle response feels better, engine note has changed and is now even more throaty!!

and here is how she looked on the 28th june last year after an idiot pulled across me
