I call this Mt Pleasant International in front of my place.

 

Ben Rizzo's '34 coupe. This car is sitting in his mother's Pomona garage exactly as it was the last day Ben raced it. Injected fuel Hemi and all. Ben owned and operated Pomona Muffler. He did exhaust systems on a lot of hot rods in the 60's and 70's, including my '28 Tudor.

 

Love this car

The Scotto/Blevins Nomad was legendary, the real deal.
There was a reason for the hole in the grill, and I'd bet there were wing nuts on the radiator too, as there was a substantial amount of camshaft testing.

From Hemmings
Then and now, the Nomad's G/MP powerplant was a Chevrolet small-block V-8 displacing 287 cubic inches; in other words, a 283 bored .030-inch over. The hungry mouse gorged itself through a pair of 660 cfm Holley four-barrel carburetors perched atop an Edelbrock tunnel-ram manifold. Burnt fuel was noisily exhausted though a set of Hedman Hedders that had a straight path out of the engine compartment through the rear of the front fender wells, for improved scavenging. The Blevins/Scotto team-which did everything on this car from building the engines to applying decals-used a variety of camshaft grinds during the car's competition career, most often furnished by Engle or Racer Brown. The engine turned a Borg-Warner Super T-10 four-speed manual, connected to a 1957 Oldsmobile rear-long the choice of serious sportsman racers back then for being kryptonite-tough- carrying 6.17 Zoom gears and splined Summers Brothers axles. Back then, station wagon or sedan delivery bodies found favor in the Modified classes because of their perceived better weight transfer upon launch.
