You are all starting to worry me a great deal... LOL. I think if I were to go to that much trouble I would have to look seriously at a twin overhead cam set up. Jesse Vincent did it in 1926/7 after returning from Europe where he visited with Bugatti in Paris and took a tour of the Mercedes factory in Germany. He modified a straight 8 'senior' engine - so why not us?

Anyway, I finally got around to taking a few pictures of the latest developments tonight. I even balanced the RO34 blower roughly in position but as you can see from the chalk 'cut here' lines much will change at the front end. No more work has been done to date as we were away last weekend, but I'm looking forward to some quality 'shed time' this weekend when the BW attends a friends baby shower. Sunday morning (at least) will be spent at one of the big swap meets held each year here in Sydney. There are a few items on the shopping list including a 17x4" wheel or two to suit, front shock absorbers, carbs, headlights and a steering wheel would be nice...
