ahhh, couldnt figure it out from the cam cover! what spec is it going to be running? look serious with the need for that fuel system! obviously throttle bodies, but what cams pistons etc? expected power?

Id go for a fibreglass bonnet, they weigh next to nothing and the price difference makes it worth while!

Yep tank pipes n pumps

Reason well its a lot lighter than the standard steel tank and at some point in my cars life it had been jacked up right on the fuel tank so it had a nice big dent where the fuel pump sat. This came up on mig web so I took it

Unsprung weight is the word your after adam,
