    Looks like a capable builder for my V8. Check these pics.

    It looks like I have found a suitable builder for my V8 here in New Zealand, and not too far from home.

    I thought I would share some photo's of V8's he has done in the recent past. Check out the mid and lower.

    Did V8s change over time, or is that a whole custom pan and hood on the top one?

    That is all custom made, the new hood was needed to enable the carbs to be covered.

    8 Crossflow carbs on a V8? Hope he has a couple good tow rings for pulling around the fuel barge he's going to need to feed that thing.

    Over the top cool, though!
