Re: Is This Engine Setup OK? Check The Picture
it would depend on where the
water
line is,if the
exhaust
risers are above the
water
line,then you have no worries.

I'd be worried about nylon tie wraps holding a
battery
in place.

The general criterion is that the lowest point in the riser be 12" above the water line.

Agreed, get some real battery straps made of nylon webbing, a
battery box
and tray.

Re: Is This Engine Setup OK? Check The Picture
Looks like the carb is a dual line,
electric
choke, double pumper Holley. Probably a 650 or 750 CFM version.
I my opinion one of the best performance carbs ever, and perfect for what looks like a big block 454 Chevy.
