Any Chance of the 4 cam owners post some pictures of your 4 cam motors.
Us pushrod guys don't get a chance very often too see them.
They are awesome just to look at!

This engine was for a customer 550A. A friend of his was a very good fabricator and had all the cooling system sheet metal made from aluminum, including the early one piece style fan shroud.

Here it is again, finished and on the run stand.

We borrowed the 356 Carrera throttle linkage from another engine just for the test run, and installed the Spyder linkage later on. You can see the correct Spyder throttle linkage pivot piece bolted to the lower left area of the generator stand.

wrong carburetor linkage? mid engine? here is another wrong example some mid engine ones have the exhaust pointing the wrong way for running on a dyno. notice the location of the tach drive.

I don't know. What's a Dutchman doing with a Coors sign on the wall if not a connoisseur? And don't cam drive distributers top the later band aids? For sheer elegance, while they last?.
