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?

Hi Mike, your spot on……..Hedman Hedders , performer intake, Edelbrock cam too……we had the side pipes custom made by Cherry Bomb….stainless steel and sounds real loud lol ….they even laser cut DODGE RAM into the HeatShield ……just how we wanted it

A wee bit bigger than mine.

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.

Why is the engine in the footwell

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
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.
