I kinda like this one. Looks like some thought was put into it.

I like the right angle terminals on the distributor. Plug wires would look much more relaxed routed as normal under the intake. Other than that it seems an exercise in futility. Meh, whatever twists your noodle I guess.

Looks pretty cool, and would certainly love having that one. The one thing I don't approve of are the stainless steel fasteners all throughout the engine, but I'm hopeful they actually used the appropriately graded steel ones where they matter.

Just doing my quality control job here, I know nothing else  :evil:

First cafe style loop I've seen that speaks to me..  Usually I think a loop is a poor donor for such a project. It's very nice.

My first thought was that it'd be a great start towards a ZDS replica.

Is it really possible that it weighs only 410lbs?

A thoughtful and well-executed update/mod. Very clean lines, nice.  I'm not fond of the overly-fat front tire (seems to be a current fashion), but other than that there's not much to fault unless you are a dedicated traditionalist.

They couldn't possibly believe that someone would pay $15,500 for a hacked-upon loop? A full concours resto loop wouldnt fetch that
