Where did the engine come from? Is it the Prill engine someone was selling on here? The velocity stacks are long! What filter is going over them?vwgillybilly wrote:

That’s the one Neil.
Probably just put some filter socks on them.

Re: AFN no. 400 - what have I done?!
Should be a cool engine. fyi I can't find the exact thread now the general feeling among the experts on the 356 registry was that socks, or any filter that covers the horns,are bad for flow/hp.vwgillybilly wrote:That’s the one Neil.

I don’t mind sacrificing a bit of HP for longevity.
Might richen it up a little which isn’t always a bad thing.

Re: AFN no. 400 - what have I done?!
Thank you!
They’re doing a great job. I’ll get more pics up over the next few days. Loads of handmade panels along with the Simonsen ones of course. I’m really happy with how it’s coming on, shame about the cost but hey ho!

Re: AFN no. 400 - what have I done?!
I can’t claim credit. I’m just project managing it & throwing the money about (through gritted teeth)!
I’ll be building it up though & completing a puzzle that was last together as one entity before I was born in 1982!
