depends where you get it - then there's always used.........................................

"Thermoline" not cheap but brilliant and does the job in one hit.....................

I was pulled by customs while running on almost 100% veg and they didn't care - they were after heating oil! I explained I'd used hardly any veg up to that point - the weren't interested............................... = legal

Why do you want any?

I barely lift a hand - that way I look cool and nonchalant [both of which, of course, I am] plus if the slight wave is not returned I look less of a pratt.................... [sort of......]

Photograph it in it's "as found" state then do the tidy up/valet as you suggest and above all get it running as well as possible - best of both worlds - good luck,

if you've got half the engine then just build it up as a 2.25 using late series 3 parts - pretty much everything ought to be correct..............................

Well done Rob - best decision, have you considered LPG?

Ah! too modern for me but others will be along shortly no doubt. I think I did follow a thread on here about your issue so maybe try another search............................ Good luck

Boring! We've all got those!

Which engine/gearbox ?

Well pleased with mine, running Eldelbrock/Weber 500 and homemade plenum - brilliant bit of kit. How cheap can you get them?

excellent!

I'm really pleased with the Blos but running an eldelbrock so had to make a plenum - what vapourisor are you using? I bought a new OMVL and all's good.

Brilliant! What are we all going to worry about now!

Easy done........................ at least you noticed before pulling the trans.............................. you running that on carbs/blos?

5 to 6 hundred? Hell! my old heap is now worth at least £750.00!

A good read if you've not found it already............................... I've kept my choke................... http://how-to-build-a-pilgrim-sumo.wikidot.com/fueling-system

Now you're talking Mordzy! With greatest respect to other poster I think you'll be fine with an old school SBC - best advantage of old school is lots of performance parts at reasonable prices. If you go slightly newer you could get one with TBI [Throttle Body Injection] Which is nice old school...

Ah! the Weber 500! loads of fun, just watch that fuel gauge dive - nice kit, good luck
