This is one of my favorite pictures from last week.
I can't get over how beautiful they are. 44 years ago, those heads were new. They look every bit as good today.
Of course, now you can't see them anymore. The engine is almost fully assembled, and man does it clean up well. All the sheet metal you see is original. It has just been cleaned up and powder coated.
In 1987, my dad put stainless steel heater manifolds on. A good investment, I think. We decided to leave the original oil on the crankcase because it looks so good.
This scrape is where the manifold hit the ground when the torsion tube failed. I think we'll leave that there...
Oh and we have brakes all around now:
