Hey! Where's the radiator?

J/k. Nice new toy. They're very easy and fun to work on, and these pancake engines and others are easy to modify. Those torsion bar front suspensions kinda tripped me out a bit when I first saw 'em, too. Regarding the Porsche heads, you are really limited and some of the RS (Renn, not Rally Sport) require dual plugs.

What type of carb do you currently have, and what intake do you want to run? You have the rainhat (intake/filter setup), and what kind of intake were you thinking? I've also heard bad things when people try to change to hydraulic lifters. The Type IV can handle more boost pressure and hold up better opposed to your 50 hp Type II; the earlier blocks tend to be weaker and less reliable.

I'm rebuilding a 6 cylinder horizontal myself. They're fun and a pain.

The body looks good, and clean! Can't wait to see the bumpes when you get them. Have you thought about lifting to fit 30-31" tires?
