Here is a rare picture of the BBC that Nomad had in his Cobra.
He actually reworked the head exhaust ports so he could screw the primary pipes into the head.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...
No timing curve, just 38 deg fixed. Unknown power, unknown torque. Amazing comment from the builder/driver: While a 555cui tall deck (can't recall if they go as much as 4.5" stroke because the suspension is attached to the trans and the crank throws won't clear the sump/ground), the short deck version with a 4.25"crank (or whatever fits in) gives less total weight, and less spinning assembly weight to result in a faster car!

Turbo intakes for Can-Am, not much to see, but with the turbos in place the most beautiful engine ever!
