Sorry about the links to the larger pics - should be sorted now.
Induction roar is louder than the exhaust from inside the car - that's definately a first for my car!!
Only had the car back for a couple of days now so still getting used to it. I'll put up full specs etc when I get a minute and not doing this across a mobile phone link!

Oh well, not my phone bill and as I have it handy:
Basic Spec:
4.8 x-bolted
218 Cam
4*48 Weber IDF
Important Bits:
316 bhp @ 5560rpm
336 lb/ft @4100rpm
Torque curve is almost flat - over 270 from 2000 through to 6000rpm.
Engine supplied by John Eales. Fitting and all other mods work (of which there was plenty as it is a serpentine engine compared with the original 4.5 pre-serp) carried out by Tower View.

What made you switch to carbs rather than injection ?
A couple of things:
1) John and Tower View recommended it as the 'way to go' for more power whilst working within my original budget. Staying with the injection would have meant the triple plenum, new ECU and still the additional pumps etc.
2) Carbs do sound rather nice don't they ;-)
Ever since seeing (and going round Brands Hatch in) Jeff Statham's car I've fancied the air filter through the bonnet look!
I actually blame Tim (ACT) for all of this.....the carbs on the old Jensen of his that I had sounded good too.... ;-)
