I'm seeing a set of 4 to 1 headers, and presumably there's an Edelbrock intake under that enormous four barrel under the Edelbrock air filter cover?

Well, jeman has an All-American van, a dream for many. Ian, yours looks right to narrow roads in Scotland and likely other parts of the UK. And I admit that I find it fun looking, too.

Because the front end is so short. It was designed that way and build for a very long time.

Nice. I had a ‘65 VW Type 2. Wish I still had it.
You have such a clean motor! That’s a very versatile vehicle.

Well Jimster Meter rat will tell you you had 2 more cylinders than you needed in your air cooled engine than he needs in his aircooled 2CV :haha:
Never had a 2CV but started with a GS then a GSA estate then a CX Familiale all of them quirky and made out of tin foil but I sure miss them. :(
