166 and 212 Barchettas both have the same proportions, with an extremely short front overhang.
I don't think the result of this car is a result of insufficient skill or tools (e.g. sweeps) - the craftsmanship and surfacing look outstanding. Rather, it's a result of the proportions of the chassis used. You'd have to move the engine back 4-6" so that you can get the cooling package back the same amount and shorten the nose.
The engine description is confusing - it talks about a rebuilt MFI pump as if it were original to the engine, which came with CIS. Mentions the power output of a stock base '74 engine, which has nothing to do with what is in the car.
