Nice clean setup, looks great!
The red distributor cap's a little distracting. Can you get a black one?

 

Looking Good!

 

A sanitary setup, for sure. Congratulations. Can't wait to see more.

Er, that intake looks made to fit a Ford. How did you get it to fit a Simca?

 

I like it! I am planing on running the same Ford 5 speed setup. What did u use for the adapter plate for the hogs head?

 

Very nice! Keep us posted.

 

i agree with you buddy....this red is different from the others in the motor,,this is a moke up.....i just place the distr in place,,,the all hop up is in the way,,i haven't search others cap's .....next time i move in this way...

 

pre 48 and late intakes fit the french engines,,i only work with a grinder to match the intake bowls with the engine bowls

 

Hi buddy,,,hogs head is from the french flatty,,i measure the distance with transmission and buy a plate of steel and go to machinist with my need dimensions,,clutch release bearing is french flatty ,and i resize the tube of input shaft to fit the bearing

 

Ditto the Lookin' GOOD !

thanks all!

 

Those are sure some camera-shy carb scoops!

Nice looking engine!

 

Thank You very much for posting these additional pictures for all of us to enjoy.

Thanks
Frenchy

 

Black on black never occurred to me. I have the usual Ford red block in black chassis. I had thought about different color but black never occurred to me. Thats a nice combination!.

 

Lookin good !

 

thanks all!

 

Keep the pictures coming!

 

I can only imagine how hard it is to build any sort of early car in Italy, let a lone a traditional rod. The couple of times I've been in Italy I have seen nothing but mopeds and fiats! looking really good and I take it your building in a one car garage too.

You should be pleased its coming along well

 

what a nice job makes me want to get mine going

 

What year rear end are you using.
