that's the intake adapter ordered then.... ?765 inc' shipping. lets hope i find a 351 cleveland tunnel ram for the right price next. it may seem an expensive way to get a tunnel ram but the only one i've seen for an fe engine was on american ebay at just under $2500!!!

ps here's a link to what i've bought.... https://fepower.net/Products/feiamr.html

i forgot to say i managed to slide the purchase of the adapter past her indoors with no adverse affects! result

a little nash update to squeeze in between other stuff. i've found a 351c tunnel ram in florida and emailed for a shipping price, fingers crossed......
neil.
edit.... that was a bust

it seems i've located a tunnel ram for my nash. it's had the top altered for (i think enderle?) injection so i'll need to do something with that but it's not the end of the world.

i just ordered a quick release steering wheel boss and (just in case) a 3 hole to 6 hole adapter as i don't have a steering wheel yet.

paid the customs fees today so my jay brown intake adapter should be delivered soon. i'll collect my 351 cleveland tunnel ram at the swapmeet sunday, that'll bolt to the above adapter. just need to see what carb's are there sunday and if not i'll buy a new pair of chedelbrock (chinese edelbrock, lol) 500's.

the inlet adapter for my fe engine arrived today, woohoo!!
neil.

i've been looking at different steering wheels for my nash and decided and bought this 15" astrali wood rim one.

ok, call me a tart/poser but i just ordered 2x 3" electric exhaust cutouts for my nash. i say 2x not a pair as 1 was on offer so £10 less than everyone else so i bought that and a 2nd from elsewhere.
neil.

hopefully the 360 engine i have will fire up and run well enough to go in my nash while i build a 390 for it. i've got the inlet adapter and tunnel ram now and i'm looking into a retro fit roller cam swap. the cam and lifters will add up to about £800 which sounds a lot but it'll eliminate the issues with flat tappet cams/lifters. we'll see.....
neil.

so i've ordered more bits and bobs for my nash and it's started to arrive. a lump of 8mm aluminium plate to unmodify the top of the tunnel ram, a pair of 1/2" phenolic spacers with studs to a) insulate the carbs and b) keep the carb linkages off of the above plate. also countersunk m6 allen bolts and nylocs to hold the plate to the top of the tunnel ram, a valve spring installed height checker, a new pair of butch crocodile clips for my big boy's snap on battery charger/starter and both of the electric 3" exhaust cutouts. oh and the very pretty steering wheel too
we got the plate cut to size, the holes cut out to the open spacer's size and the stud holes drilled ready to tap. then it was full stop as we couldn't find a 5/16 unc tap.... bu66er, best order a couple then.
neil.

the thread taps arrived today, too late to get out and cut the threads though. we'll get that done tomorrow along with some countersunk holes in the plate and through the top of the tunnel ram so we can attach it.
neil.

edit, i also ordered a nice shiny centre/horn push for my nice shiny steering wheel.

i took delivery of a 4" length of 4" internal diameter stainless tube today. i intend to make an adjustable tapered piston ring compressor to make future engine builds a little easier.
neil.

today we tapped the stud holes in the ally plate and loctited the studs in place. next it's neatening the edges/corners and drill/countersink it to bolt it to the tunnel ram.
