Thanks for the link to the new meet!!!

 

Thanks Jiminy, just checking in.

 

Hey guys. Let me jump into September with an update from my engine builder.
This guy is the real deal!

 

Thanks for the links.

In the process of putting a Weber on my banger.

 

In the process of getting babbit poured for my mains on my B engine after getting the block
pressure checked.
Have been thinking of going to an A block and getting the crank turned down, then decided to
give the this B block a chance after talking to Putt Smith, He said just put a mechanical gauge
on it and don't let it get hot and it should last.
Stay Tuned

 

Hi, anybody here going to the Auburn Ca. Hill Climb on the 26th of this month?

 

ok.. umm is this an option? I guess I will save the cash and run my model B head until I can get a winfield on it.

 

Is it a DCOE? I'd like to see that! I have a pair of them on my GTV and am building Triples for my Hudson

R/ Roger.

 

Ummm, looks like it might leak a little.
Send pics as they come, J

 

I believe there are still some lion speed 3 heads in stock at the moment if you want one. Not sure how many are left though.

What can you tell us about the engine??

 

No, I'm using the 32/36. I do have an A project involving an 1800 cc OHC Ford Courier engine with a pair 42 DCOE Webers.

 

Dang! That oughta git it!

 

Im running was running a stock B head on my A motor earlyer this year, such a beter engine then the model A head, i will try to mill of a few MM's of the B head before the new engine is in and give an update, but i destroyed my bearings during a roadtrip, so it might take a while..

 

It's a full pressure counterweighted B motor with a big cam and a '27 Chevy head.

 

hot-irons,

Sounds like a fun build, but don't use that '27 head! The single exhaust heads are prone to cracking- not a matter of if, but when, and they don't flow well at all. Keep your eyes out for a good '28 head- it'll be worth the wait!

 

Hi, I have a friend with a big stack of them heads. He's in Anderson Ca.
His name is Greg Sabourin. Great guy! http://www.jernthunderbolt.com/ (R.I.P. Neil Jern)

Maybe I'm wrong on the year. It has two intake ports on one side and two exhaust on the other. Is that the later style head you are talking about?

 

Just got my fresh model b distributor for my trog car. Now I can install my lion head and that this weekend. If in just installed the distributor hoe much of a driveability improvement would I see. Also have a dual updraft intake for it but I am waiting on the b carbs to come back from rebuilder.

 

I think you have the 28 head!

 

You do have a '28 head- looking forward to seeing your progress!!!

 

X2!
Hey hot-irons, are you gonna be running single or dual carbs?

 

If you had a good A distributor set up changing to a stock B dizzy all by its self and no other changes, not much change in the drivability. Compression increase is going to be the biggest change when you get enough fuel to it.

 

Ummmm. Both.

 

Wow! is that photo shopped or is that real? Have they been grafted together to make a 4 barrel?
I can't wait to see your intake manifold!

 

Thats the real deal sir. The fella I got it from used to wrench for Ak Miller.
He made two of these for the El Cabilero Mexico road race because he didn't like the Carter wcfb.

 

Newens equip co magneto side drive.

 

Wow!!!! that's a true pedigree!!
