Here's a few pictures of the motor right before we fired it over for the first time. Still have some timing stuff to mess with, but runs well so far, and is, to say the least, uncomfortably loud!   This one shows how I hacked the rear bank of headers into the low starter version that Clifford no longer makes

YEAH! Green engines run better, that's a scientific fact. And now you can go around telling people your '64 D100 has a "green powerplant".  Polished radiator top tank looks great...didjya clear-coat it? I'll soon have a specially-built mini high-torque starter that'll replace the low-mount direct-drive unit... |

Yep, I clear-coated it after I got it all nice and pretty! I have a green and yellow engine, blue spark plug wires, blue and white truck, brass radiator cap, before long it'll look like a rainbow truck... That new mini starter will be nice and I might have to buy one for you once I buy another slant six powered Sweptline. Do you know if only the trucks came with the direct drive starter? I have a mid-seventies parts slant six that came out of a car and it has the gear reduced starter that won't fit my truck's bell. |

Not only trucks, and not all trucks, either. See this post. And yeah, you're right, the regular gear-reduction starter (and the regular mini-starter) will not fit in place of the direct-drive starter. |

Try telling that to the EPA!  Green is the "thing" nowadays...

As someone who grew up in farm country (and still have a shop there) I love the colors!
