Fuel injected too under that air cleaner I reckon 
it is indeed a nascar engine, which all still run a holley 4 barrel carb! which i knew was true, but was surprised to find they STILL do! saw this
headline
"NASCAR takes 'really big step' with fuel injection - Oct 19, 2011 "

Yes, relevant to all, very much so. The comment is aimed at the so-called 'pros'. Many home builds put the full time builders to shame.
The full timers need to pull their socks up and improve their standards. Not the first time I've made the comment on here, probably not the
last.
Why pick on a bec?
I saw a couple at a well known builder not too long ago.
To say the installations were sloppy and haphazard is being polite.
Professional builders need to turn out professional looking work, not thrown together confusion.
Cheers,
Nev.

Stu
I can see the carb dashpots, manifold, rocker covers, and linkages doing their stuff through the louvres in the bonnet.
They are all polished, even SWMBO commented it was good to see them all nice and clean.

I can imagine the reply I would get if I said I was going into the garage to polish my dashpots! [not that I've got any].
My car time is limited due to work / kids so the look is functional rather than aesthetic. Maybe when I retire!

One 'benefit' of getting on a bit I guess, all kids have left and have their own homes, mortgage is a distant memory, letting go of the
greasy pole at work some too.....
She likes me out of the way now and again so it all works out ok.
I was a bit surprised when she commented, her view is usually why detail whats under the bonnet.

If the OP knows how to make a subaru turbo flat four install look good, I'm all ears.

I know how one shouldnt look, the japs are great at untidy engine bays.
Used to always make me and my colleagues laugh when we got the latest £30K bonkers jap saloon in.
My toyota powered RAW follows these roots, blimming wires everywhere with black tape!!!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

Thought we'd made a reasonable job of this ascona 'bay:
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Can someone fix the links I posted on an earlier page please!!!
They are tidy bays, like retro powers ascona only to the absolute max, every spare hole welded up etc
Cheers!!!!
Edit: just looked at the retro power one again and they have also done all the inner wings v tidy fair play, but I still think the dubbers are the
masters of hiding everything away

Like a V8 like a BEC , his bay looks nothing special.
Happy Christmas.

There are some very clean dubs about. My only issue with some of them is the amount of filler used in the engine bay and the creation of double
skinned areas that form rot traps! Curt's ascona is in use for at least 6 months of the year, and has very little filler (barely any) in the
engine bay
I have seen a few mk1 golfs with horrific amounts of filler covering distortion in new sheet metal added in the engine bay!
