I had Indy port n polish those heads....1 dodgy valve aside, think it must have been a good job.

The scoop has me intrigued now

Glad to hear you even thought about the horn

(Still reckon a 2cv horn is lighter.......

Oh I don't know Blue. It looks quite good on any car I think.

Nah, I prefer Beetles a little lower than that!

I would have to go back to the 60's and look at what a few of the famous rod builders were doing at the time for a scoop.... If it were mine anyway.

I wonder if Blue is thinking along the same tracks?

Indeed, it's getting something along the lines of what they were using in the early days of Pro stock. I still haven't worked out exactly how I'm going to make it yet...
