Besides the gram oil filter and edelcrap Carb?

Must have some really neat flexible valves too.....

The valve angle must be something real special allright.

I only noticed that an 89 should have center bolt valve covers. But then 89 should be some type of fuel injection, and its not.

Well there's a major mechanical issue seen in the pictures that might keep it from running.

You mean the valve reliefs?

So, I'm guessing the pictures are just of the build process and the car does run, right? I'm a bit confused there...

Car looks like a runner in the pics so presumably someone pulled them out and flipped them over at some point! Laughing

Well.. notice that the engine is the in the car allready for that pic. I wonder if this is after they figured out it had a problem and pulled the heads back off?
