I love it. Fly eyes and everything. Looks great.

----Marlin,,,I have had some experience with just this kind of throttle linkage set-up. Learned to strengthen the rod between the carbs because flex under load can create issues.......Bill S

I've always been told that copper head gaskets will need re-torquing which can be a real pain once an engine is in a vehicle. I know that Cometic can vary head gasket thickness to probably get you the CR that you need.

Thanks Mark. I'll keep that in mind.
