Engine

The engine is the original 948 with the HS1 (1 1/4 inch) SU Carbs. The 1959 car has only 60,000 miles on it and the oil pressure seems to be solid. I plan on replacing the gaskets on the engine as well as repainting it with the original color. Additionally I plan on rebuilding the SU carburetors and cleaning and painting all parts as needed. I will remove the engine, remove all paint and treat any rust, and prime or use a rust preventative paint treatment, then paint the engine compartment the original Leaf Green. Well there has been a change in plans for the color as I simply can't resist painting it British Racing Green (BRG) like the old Jaguar D Type which I absolutely love.  I plan on using Dupont or PPG paint.
