Excellent work Chris...Id expect no less ;)
Dunno bout the plating, as you have shown here, matt black is the new anodising!

Thanks a bunch guys. It's not too bad, things can look better in a photo. At the moment the engine is running quite hot, I think the thermostat is sticky, but I'm sorting that out now.

I was a little peeved that I didn't get all the parts re-plated, had I had more time I would have done the alternator, alternator bracket, water pump pulley and oil cap and so on.

This engine may be up for sale in a month or two, probably running a more street suited cam by then too.

well done chris, you put a lot of thought into how you wanted it to look and its come up looking tops congrats

sooooooooooooo nice

The Bpro manifold + linkages look trick as Chris
Matte black carb tops + ram tubes look hot too.

Great looking engine chris. Might have to fly you to Tassie for a bit of work on the Cherry! LOL
