Re: Barries's 1950 standard 8

Here is some photos of last weekends work. I think the manifolds dont look too bad for a job done on budget. The paint promises 1200 Fahrenheit. I also did the bellhousing, water pump and fan and the engine cradle. Still looking for a engine mounting. In the last picture you will see that the thermo spring is missing on the exhaust. I am pondering if I should replace or rig it to be always open. When removing one of the manifold studs water flowed. Hope this is normal. The stud was a bit rusted.
