The engine is now complete with minimal issues.
There remains a bit of work still to get the sixteen pipes straight but otherwise looking good. Sadly I had to close up the cam and valve covers because it won't be easy to make them removable. In particular oil and fuel pump drives poke through the cam cover.
Next was the compressor and a large number of external oil lines, and the associated carburettor. The throttle linkage is well defined but sadly sits underneath the two-barrel carb. Fuel lines are in place from the pump to the carb, with the feed from the tank to come once the engine is in the frame.
At the other end of the motor, there is a belt drive to the water pump and a manifold pressure relief valve that appears to dump through the floor pan.
A test fit in the body looks good, so it's on to the chassis.
Size comparison with the 1/24 kit by FPP Modelos is interesting. Stay tuned!
