Late 97? You built this car 12 years ago?
I'm guessing the engine is from 97 maybe?

That's what happens when you get old Harley, you forget decades, as well as names, hair, bodily functions etc.

One day you'll know what I mean :D

It says 1992 on the cam cover, tiger. :)

But the link says it was finished and registered in 07...


I demand an inquiry into these discrepancies before a call it an insurance job. :)

Decided to revive this thread..

I'm looking into doing a b series conversion myself soon and I saw the subframe you had made for it in the other thread... I'm just wondering if the axle line was moved forward with the new subframe to allow the diff to clear the steering rack. On the US sites they say this is the major obstacle for this conversion in RHD cars without changing any of the dimensions.
