Great stuff Phil, look forward to seeing how it progresses. 

 

What is the support and parts availability like for these?  I see Ames performance only does 1955 onwards but Rockauto have some service bits and pieces.

Not bad because the oily bits are common across about 5 years of build, some trim bits are 1951 only so are eBay and scrapyard/breakers but they have a fairly good following and parts aren't that scarce. Engine bits are awkward, from what I tell but so far this one seems good, even the oil pressure is within factory specs.

Yes, those covers are either going in the bin or I might put them on top of flower pots and use that combination to hold paintbrushes.

 

I figured that a better use for them.

 

Timing covers are on the side of the engine in SquireDawson approved fashion. Top of the engine is all spark plugs.
