Saw this on the forum and couldnt pass it up. Round trip to Melb in two days to tow it home. Now in the process of re-assembling the 1641 engine that came with it. The original carbs are in bits, good alternatives ??? I have a set of 44 idf webbers but could be too big. can you still buy kadrons or larger solex ?

Great score man

I saw that for sale and it looked sweet

As for the carbs - if you can get some shortie maniflods go with the 44's. Just put some 32 vents in there and jet em accordingly and it should be sweet.

Yes you can still buy solexes but they are not as good as the IDF's

I am totally stoked, the photos dont do it justice. just a little rust in the usual places

sounds like your pretty happy with it then!

the carbs could do with a gasket kit but are all there, only one is in bits, go on, you can do it put 'em back together :P

Ya gotta love the notch. This looks a great buy!

Hey Barry....

Still.....the one I want is still available, and we settle on the sale next Friday. C'mon the funds!

Squiz.....

Nice work, I would have liked it also...funds and space an issue, I look forward to seeing some progress pics :thumb

Steve, I spoke to vintage about kitting the carbs and was shown one they rebuilt for a customer. They used the parts from 4 different carbs to make one good one. If the IDFs will work that makes them easier and probably better.

I have cleaned up the heads and case. bottom end looks ok. There is evidence of a small leak on one of the heads where the barrel seats. Will get them checked today.

sounds like your really getting into it, go the IDF's they'll wake it up a bit too!

Got the carbs and I stand corrected, they are 40mm IDFs so they should work a treat. Not bad for free thanks to a good mate. I think he is keener than me to get the notch running !!!!

Whooo Hooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumb:thumb

Go on - whack the IDF's on!

nice notch...:thumb

Looks pretty strait, good score, nice colour too, what are ya plans for it, slammed?
Rob.....

engine is now in, required a bit more than first thought. heads bead blasted and rebuilt, new exhaust valves and guide seals. honed cylinders, and re-assembled with new push rod tubes. New fuel pump and empi exhaust (made in taiwan) mufler exits wrong side and fouls on apron... time to break out the mig !!!. Weather permitting will tackle breaks tomorrow, rotors and pads up front...inspect rear and see whats needed. Post some more photos too.

sweet score :thumb

ahh I see you got the mags off syncro,I keeped humin' and harin' about them but they should look good on the notch:thumb
are you going to keep them black or a different colour?

nup didnt get the mags, I tried to persuade him to throw em in with the notch but he wasnt keen. Much to my dissapointment.

very smooth looking notch....and yeh i do remeber seeing it for sale before :bounce grate score looks very shmick

oh sorry about that 1964-notch I thought that was them leaning on the fence in one of the pics...sorry

yeah it is but these photos were taken by Syncro before I picked up the car.....No worries any way.
