Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying the post.The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

That is one of my favourite "32 Roadsters and I too have that photo here in the 'puter. Not much I would change on that car if it fell into my ownership....

Putting that motor in a '32 Roadster reminds me of what my best friend and drag racing partner used to tell me. Marv always said, "Too much is just about right."Jack

The intake didn't fit because it wasn't relieved for the angled feature that is the valve cover sealing surface.

Still needs a bunch of cutting to get the that distributor in there. These first cuts let me know I'm on the right track..
