Got the air intake and the exhaust manifolds on yesterday which seems to have made it almost bearable so i have taken a vid
Still need to sort the idle out but cant do that unti; i have made the exhaust.
Enjoy

I have been looking at your various updates on here over the last few months. Good luck with the build and I bet you cant wait to get it done!!

that engine looks huge! did sound very cool though but will it idle yet? or does it need a lamda sensor?

is it me or does that radator look very very tiny for that engine?
Very nice , i like it , now get the plumbing done so you can run it a wee bit longer, and smell the newness burning off.

Will the intake stuff fit under the bodywork okay or are you making an inlet plenum from scratch? Mine wouldn't fit under, I cheated and changed bodywork

Sounds like starting up a Spitfire (plane, not Triumph)
THAT THING IS MAHOOOOOOSIVE!
Sounds amazing! im sure it will be a fight to keep it in a straight line!
once the cooling's in, will it be drivable?
All the hard work is worth it for the sound of a big engine.

It really won't be a car for tight circuits, will it?
Enjoy the straight bits and the long sweepy stuff, because through them tight twisty bits it's gonna understeer like a cnut.
IMHO....
Sounds a bit like one of these

nice one. sounded a bit like mine when I had no silencer on, albeit with few cylinders.
don't run it for too long, more than a minute until you have water sorted.
also I reckon that rad is gonna be too small...... queue quick plug - I have a polo rad that is wider than the standard one if you are interested,
brand new, £ 25 + post.
also have a saab 9000 rad, bigger still, believed to b ok, £ 15 plus post.
guess you are gonna ask me to measure
