Effie - that's the old picture, what it looked like when I brought it home. It was out of a car, the paint was 5 or 6 years old. You are right, that's the cast manifold on it. I have an aluminum one, I got out of Canada, that I will probably put on it. I will try to post pics tomorrow of what it looks like now. Still working on detailing it.

I'm not sure of the difference - it's out of a car. I will probably be changing over to the truck one, when I build my new stand, but might leave this one one it, at least for now. Now that I have the right pumps on it, I will be building a new stand, and using that stand for my extra block. Hope to make it a little taller, room for the tranny, battery, etc, so I can run it on the stand.
