Re: Jo-Han 1971 Dyno Don Maverick-427 SOHC Beginnings
I always thoroughly enjoy watching how you bring these motors to life. The colors used, and the details added are perfect examples of realism in scale.

Thanks for that Carlos. I can already see that I'm gonna have to slide that drivers side rocker cover forward just a teeny bit to cover that timing chain cover. RATS!!

Re: Jo-Han 1971 Dyno Don Maverick-427 SOHC Beginnings
A little more progress as of late. Been working on this thing all week long. Starting to get googly eyed....
Got a few more bits on. Oil filter, starter, bellhousing and transmission have all been painted up and installed. Working on the intake area of the build now which is where all the details are going to be. Stuff like ignition wiring, throttle linkage, fuel lines and all the mumbo jumbo stuff that goes in there....
All test fitted together with a set of carbs that I have in the stash. Proper Dominators will go on top when I get 'em in the mail....
and for test fitting the engine into the frame to check out header options, header to frame clearances and general fit..... so I don't damage or mess up any of the details that I'm building here I've got another 427 that came in a glue bomb Maverick that I got in the mail that's undergoing a restoration/ transformation.
