Now, but I should have some soon.

My uncle was told that it whet over 80mph at the Antique Nats.
Bothwell and his buddies use to take them to a local dirt track and have fun with them too.

Crazzzz

Sorry we disagree...... Moldex is the only good custom crank manufacture in America

[Crazydaddyo]

Bluto,
I would take your advice on the custom crank end of things. If I was building a billet crank, I would go to them ($2500 - $3000).

But the Scat crank for the Model T/A/B is much better then the stock crank. For most of our uses, the Scat crank is more then good enough ($1400 - $1600).


There are a few guys running Scat 5 main billet cranks at Bonneville, so we will see how that works out.

Sorry to say ..... yes, there is a cost difference but there's a cost involved when the crank fails.

My feeling is that only the best is good enough.

Dang me! Jim, you're getting more "agreeable" everyday. You must being feeling a lot better

I got one of 'dem expansive cranks (over $3000)! We're finishing up the sixth season of hard racing (oval and road courses) on it; and we haven't even bothered to dig into it, to see if it's still there. The others before it would loudly announce there departure

What is the measurement from the manifold plate to the center or inside edge of the carb hole? Reds are out of stock to measure. I’m not sure if my extractors’ center pipes will clear.

Before I order, I want to make sure.

Thanks,

Rod

Sorry, I needed to translate that because I couldn't figure out what it said before. I hope somebody can help you.

Do your pipes come out straight
Most headers start with a 90 down
Lakes come out straight but should clear any down draft intake

[RoddyB34]

Sorry about my english ,,,i am in foreign country,,thanks Bill yes i need to come thru the intake area as shown ,i made a twin intake with some flanges you supplied me but want to go back to single to get it going and sorted but i think the pipes might hit an Ansen type ,i might have to fabricate a tube type but i dont want to go to high up ,the Strombergs i run are single barrell from a 6 cylinder Holden engine ,i cant do pics at the moment ,,will try later ,

[Bigcheese327]

Rod, no criticism intended. I just had a hard time understanding and thought others might too.

-Dave

[RoddyB34]

Yeh Hi Dave ,no problem here ,i know what you mean ,i did read it back and realised its a bit jumbled ,just trying not to buy something that would hit my pipes,i probably will have to make one like Bill makes ,its my sons car and trying help him ,thanks from Rod,,

[hotrod holland]

i've make it so you have less chance of leakage and easier to mount.

[AstroZombie]

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself to the banger brethren. I'm very green with bangers, but I love the sound smell and feel of these engines. The only thing I've done to my engine is add a chrome side cover, regap my plugs and points, and swap out a crappy Chinese condenser! Here are some pics of my A. I have taken 5 inches out of the top and plan on new water pump, cap, rotor, points and plugs. I also have a '28 Special coupe that will be getting a stock (driver) restoration so I am soaking up a ton of info to do these correctly

Does anyone here have experiance with the dodge "Fast Four" bangers from '27-'28? I know the montana dodge boys have ran them on the salt for the past few years so i'll be shooting them an email after this, but i am looking for others with some experiance. I have been kicking around a Dodge based speedster for a while, and the dodge blocks are 5 main bearing right from the factory. I know that they are fairly rare, and nothing exists as far as speed equipment goes, but they just sounds like i fun little engine to mess with.

fast four guru is spelled "rich" (fox).

One of the Montana Dodge Boys is a HAMBer, maybe he will chime in here. What do you mean " no speed equipment" ? Rich has plenty of it, it's all bright yellow.

[Nailhead dodge roadster]

Ok, let me rephrase.....i can't open any catalog and order brand new speed equipment for the fast four, unlike the fords ....there has been a lot of custom and one off pieces made for them.
