Here's some more period specific wheels chopped on LittleRed's request

Fitted some aftermarket Speco gauges to it last week while we were a bit quiet at work..

Well finally managed to find a weekend to dig out my 5K from up the back shed, It has been sitting there for numerous years now... Also raped the pushrods out of the A12 motor we had sitting there for my solid lifter conversion. Found the rings were rusted in the bores and it wouldn't turn over at first. Let the bores soak with some Inox and kept hammering the crank back and forward till she gave in. Managed to pull it down a bit and got it on the engine stand and gave it a good degreasing too..

Let the fun begin!

Awesome... upright 5K? :y:

FLAT TOP 5K VERY NICE.

 

And if u have a flat top 5K and flat top piston head u shouldnt need A12 push rods for solid lifter conversion?????

The motor didn't come with a head, So no pushrods in it..

 

Also got some goodies back from being polished today..

Your not going to get proper street cred now unless you drive around with a 2 kilo doller-sign hanging from your neck.

 

lol bling king.

You have not seen bling yet, Have more stuff getting polished currently..

How "serious" is the 5k going to be? I see talk of an upright motor!

 

Mmmmmmm.

God damn! I had know idea that the timing chain cover could ever look like that :P Looks good so far mate, will be nice to see it all assembled.

 

This motor is srs business.

Picked up the other bits today..

 

My rollcab at work is a 5K treasure trove :y:

Now that is hot!!
