Hi,

There is something not right about those
pictures.

Might explain why there are no pics from
underneath as well.

Even keeping left hand drive due to the
S65 sump pan offset at the front, there is no way
you would fit a steering linkage through
the header recess, to be at the bulkhead in a useable/
workable location with the s65 in that position.

You alter the S65 Headers ar your own peril,
as if one bank becomes restricted then the
harmonioc in balance will tear up the engine
internals, very quickly due to the block and bed plate of
the s65 being alloy.

Be interesting to know if it was completed,
and if so how ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.
