Unfortunately we didn't start the engine, there was a delay with the making of the branches, But oh well maybe this weekend...
Just two new pic I took yesterday
the block and headers was painted in a machine metal color, looks good!

Right we are back on track pushing to finish up in the next 2 weeks or so...
The engine needs to move up and back a few centimeters to make way for the radiator
