So I may just call them, and have chat, I'm running at Toploader with Australian Clevo bell-housing.

OK, sorry about the delay......best to speak to Peter direct.
G, the ones hanging are display ones, he has a few in boxes.

The least I can do for you guys is show you photos of the clearances:

Very nice fit and finish. I would use a set if I was not sorted already.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

Why is it that aussie header manufacturers weld the hedder plates to the pipes on the outside and the rest of the world welds them on the inside which makes it easier to get a wrench on the bolts. :rant:

So all of it local? Sounds like it will be a nice setup. Looking forward to hearing it going - likely before mine is up and running.

Had to get the headers from Sydney mustang, they must have a deal with Hedman, no one lists them. The rest is from Summit, one more order to be delivered and I have all the engines bits, just waiting of all the ARP bolts, oil pump and. Also got a new Borgsen Saginor power steer pump and bracket.

I know you do not need my help but I am happy to hang around when your building the engine. As you know I like building them..

I am also interested in your power steering choices - I need a pump so your feedback would be helpful. I am around, e.g Local, tomorrow building and mounting the air-con condenser. We can talk if you have the time. I can drop around.

Cool - I am interested. I looked up the instructions and (somehow) appears to work when air is used. That was my only concern so I am interested that's for sure.

I am going to the wreckers to look for Relay packs and other electrical items to build a relay board for my EFI setup + powering some accessories. After which I will call and if you around I will come over.
