My Cortina Restoration has begun!

Coming together! That motor looks immaculate.

[BIGSIX]

Thanks!

The motor alone as it stands now has cost me close to R12k without the labour as I have done everything myself.

Hoping the filters will clear the bonnet as I don't want to cut it.

It's looking very good. Well done

Include the distributor in that air cleaner mock-up, sometimes the distributor/spark plug wires can have very little clearance with such a big filter.

I would show off those two beauties, each with their own small filter...... They will be hidden beneath the large one BIGSIX?!

Perhaps consider fabricating some sort of plenum with 90' bends in it so you can mount two filters, DCOE style, one over each tappet cover. That way you'll have plenty of bonnet clearance.

Who sold the front spoiler to you???
Nice engine. All you need was the cir-clip con-rods with high compression pistons, Skyline valves and 79 Richi Dude cam!!
Rassie.

Thanks for the feedback!

IJ I will check clearance with the distributor fitted, forgot about that?

Rassie why you asking about the spoiler?

[AintSheSweet]

Looking good BigSix.

I would agree with Ters .....go with the individual air filters....

[BIGSIX]

I can get these filters for the carbs, will need to lift them a bit for clearance above the ram tubes thou.

Feedback?







Cheers!
