Yes, just a 3d printed prototype.
But take another look at the valve pockets. Stern Smile

I want to see the associated valve train since the intake valve looks to be pointing in a different direction.

Yep, no more than .900" on the intake.

I don't know if those pistons are going to hold up to much in the way of power-adders! :)

I've been designing a new rear end housing 4-link and shock brackets for the Hornet and going to also put a set on the Rambler. They have two different choices for the wheelie bar mounts and have an anti roll bar hole as well. The shock bracket sandwiches in between a pair of 4-link brackets on each side of the housing.  Also have been 3D printing my prototypes since it's a lot cheaper to do it this way than make them from metal and discover you don't like what you had drawing up. Hoping to get them laser cut in the next week or so if my laser guy doesn't get shutdown because of the virus. I've since made some revisions to the shock bracket and printed two different versions of that as well. Drawing and 3D printing got me through the cold months with something to look forward to. I am really happy with the end result and can't wait to have all the pieces finished and ready to use.

When did 3D printing become a thing? Great to see you guys putting some modern high tech methods into making your cars better.

I've been working on some 291C heads with the die grinder to keep me busy. 





Probably going a bit overboard since they are supposed to be going on the 343 in my Javelin to free up the Edelbrock heads on it now for future use on the race car.

Not too many takers on the valve pockets Kevin! Lots to be seen there if you look.

I'm going to actually see if I can fix my carb and make the Rambler drive right. Also the rad has developed a leak, so might look at changing to an aluminum rad, will save a few pounds. Maybe that will get me into the 10's the same way I drive it to work? Only if I can figure out the drivability problem.

The other project is the 62 Willys - should have the engine mostly together this weekend. Probably will dyno it for giggles and fun.

And have some cylinder head work on the go as well.
