Love your work.Ryan.

 

Could I make one suggestion, paint the inlet manifold silver.  I reckon it will look heaps better, or you can tell me to get stuffed.

 

Cheers Mick.

Ryan, I'm putting the same engine and gearbox setup in my UC and I was wondering if you could put up a photo of your transmission linkages as I'm having trouble getting mine to fit. I've got a B&M shifter and its being a pain. Have you changed the transmission crossmember  yet. I had the same problem and haven't decided which way to go at this stage.

Ill send some pics of the shifter I'm getting modified a little so it fits into the original console

Very nice work.  :spoton:

 

Just make sure you put on a few more wheel nuts before you go for a drive.

great looking car

 

what is the radiator and fan setup consist of if you don't mind me asking

 

I have the larger hz style with one 14" fan , but what you have will obviously work a lot better

 

regards adam

Going great guns there, good stuff.  :spoton:

 

Just one thing I noticed, the oil pressure gauge needle is in the wrong position.  Should be around the 3 to 4 o'clock position (not 6 o'clock).

The black finish on the engine is very unique and looks great. Salamanca SLRs are just so sexy!
