Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
looking at the pics i kinda wondered if you couldve made a flange adapter that mount off the bulkhead and would rotate the 2000 cilinder 45 degrees and use a little longer pushrod in it

Thanks, I'm "theastronaut" on TheSamba too. Are you're talking about the '55 International build on here? I don't remember posting it over there, other than mentioning that I was restoring it at work.

Sounds pretty good to me. It's no V8 but at higher revs it reminds me of a Cosworth. |

Sweet. Let me know if you need any help with the painting and detailing. I just got a new job at a metal fab shop doing painting and powder coating.
