You probably hear the exhaust leak. Haven't had time to mess with it yet.

A couple of updated pictures below. While the engine was getting put together & installed, Kostya took the drivers fender down to Eric to fix the scratch that I put in it over the winter. As usual, Eric did a great job of matching the paint...especially for it being an older paint job. Props to Eric and Kostya (sandman) :thumbs: .

The engine still needs some fine tuning. Kostya is waiting on a new jet for one of the carbs. It shouldn't be long and the new look/new sound, 66 will be back on the road again.

Thanks again to all who have helped :beer: .

The BRM's have been around for a few months Jeff 8-) . "New Look" for me is the re-painted fender along with the dual carb engine w/sidewinder exhaust. It has taken a lot for me to get to the point where I wanted a bigger engine.... :beer: . Everyone would think I lost my mind if I did anything more radical than that :shock: .
