Started tonight. Used a 442 block with a 3D printed weber manifold. Used plain rectangular srip for the heads ars they will hardly be visible once the stuff is added. Added coolant outlets and inlrets. I will use three injector stacks for the three air breathers. will fabricate the caps.

Made the cam covers using square rods and half round. The marks are the location of the bolts. They did not look right so I redid them with narrow ribbing to represent the ribs on the real thing.

With the outboard cam covers held in place by tape, I could obtain an overall width measurement . I was able to find a good picture of the gear train of the OW-43 which will serve as a template for all those covers. I printed three slightly different ones and I think the one in the photo fits best. I wonder whether there's   a cover like that at the back.

Typo, as usual.

Cut the pattern out of a sheet of .040 then glued it to another one to give a proper thickness. Punched some "covers" for the ends of the cams.

A very interesting choice of build.

Hopefully, it will at lest be recognizable if not identical.
