That engine with dual carbs and cam is very much like an early original Seven. It sounds like the cam has been reground to have around 280 deg duration. I like it.

Looks and sounds great! Nice choice of color for the chassis in order to display your workmanship.

Looking forward to your future posts. :cheers:
