    Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying the post.

    That is one of my favourite "32 Roadsters and I too have that photo here in the 'puter. Not much I would change on that car if it fell into my ownership....

    Putting that motor in a '32 Roadster reminds me of what my best friend and drag racing partner used to tell me. Marv always said, "Too much is just about right."

    The intake didn't fit because it wasn't relieved for the angled feature that is the valve cover sealing surface.

    Another cut...

    And some work to create clearance for the distributor...
    [IMG]20150106_193612_zpsve2fjuwr by Greg Green, on Flickr[/IMG]

    Still needs a bunch of cutting to get the that distributor in there. These first cuts let me know I'm on the right track..
