The Brits never figured out thin wall sand casting for engine blocks. Even the superb E-type 4.2 Jag with
an extremely well designed aluminum twin cam head designed by Weslake, the damned block was incredibly
thick. IIRC, that Jag six weighed about 900 lbs all up. Great, smooth, ultra torquey motor, but incredibly
heavy like all Brit sports car motors that I know of. And yes, several had roots in tractors.
Nice looking hotrod, I'll bet with a 413 it will leap.
Do that on a real bear and he is yours! Great "arching".....or whatever the correct term is. Arrowing?
Or just 'shooting'?
