The six screws start at 9:00 and go around to 3:00. The hood is painted dash color. That is in addition to the two that you a...

Re: wanted to say HI!

Thanks to all, these engines go in anything I see now! Pretty COOL! Now my question is I noticed in the rear of my engine below the bumper there is 2 door flaps that I have missing. Are they important ??? Looks like to me they have something to do with cooling or heating? :tu:

I have owned my 61 for about a month now, and I love it. The comments are great too! I actually run fuel without e...
