Before and after

 

[mikeyboy]

Short Motor is built.
As tempting as it is to continue building it,
It’s a lot easier to fit into the frame single handed at this stage of build.

 

[mikeyboy]

Barrels/ heads are ready to fit.

I was a bit surprised to see these flat top 8.2/1 pistons,
Maybe it’s South Africa spec for shiite fuel.

 

[mikeyboy]

9.5/1 piston’s installed

Kind comments,thank you both.
But 1/2 hr in the morning 1/2 hr at end of day.
Most of its being done at home and the good wife works away a bit.
So it keeps me out of bother and better than sat watching shit on tv
