Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures available (since the rebuild), but here's the before picture. The intake shown is an Edelbrock Performer RPM, which was replaced with the Holley Street Dominator (which was required for the shaker unit to fit properly and be properly positioned...the shaker unit is also not shown on the engine here). I can get over to it and grab some engine photos in the next day or so.

Hi, thanks for your message. Just been looking over your site, very funny - know exactly what you mean about 'too loud'. Strange how similar the hostory of our cars is. Yeah its my first time with spray gun and DA sander, gonna take it slow and practice on lots of panels. things are going a bit slow at the moment though as being in England getting parts takes a while. Good luck with your car, hope to see some pics of a resto...
