Projects 1950 Studebaker gasser

Well after talking to some friends who are more knowledgeable than me. I have decide to flycut the valve reliefs. I plan on pulling heads apart next week and replace any suspect valves. Also going to put in stronger valve springs.

 

I know this piston guy..,

 

I was in a band in the 60's.We posed in front of my 50 stude with The Dynamics painted on the quarters.Never got it running tho I sense yours will,well.Keep up the great work.

 

Just a quick question. If you were a engine shop would you deliver a crank with edges like this on them? I was able to break pieces off with my finger.

 

Looking at the burrs and such along the edge I would be worried about scraps in the oil passages. Looks like pretty shabby workmanship.

 

Very nice build. Why did you choose the transverse spring set up? I'm thinking about a gasser build and I was wondering which way to go, I don't want the sky high stance. Keep the build going, can't wait to see it finished!

 

I know this crank guy...,

 

Ready to bury my head. Getting ready to pull the rest apart.

 

That's garbage in my opinion. How can you not question every aspect of the machine work or engine assembly. My 2cents any how

 

Looking good man. I am itching to start working on mine again. Been off it to long!

 

I hear ya. I am working 6 / 10's. Hope to get the new trans mount done soon and finally mount the body.

 

I know it has been awhile since I posted. But finally got the body sitting back on the frame finally. Still working on rebuilding the short block.

 

That thing is sick man. Glad to see the body back on.

 

Lookin wild!

 

Love that transverse spring front end!

 

been wondering what's going on there, looks good Eric!

 

Rear end looks bitchin. Shocks are not hooked up

 

Yes, yes it does look bitchin.

 

Car projects are never easy and you have had your share of engine problems so far but hang in there because your car really in coming along nice!!!
You are closer then you think to finishing the car.

Got most of the parts to reassemble the engine. Just trying to get time to do it. Found the cause of piston to valve clearance. Valve springs only had 146lbs at installed height of 1.880 on a Isky 505c solid roller cam.

 

Missed ya at Eagle this time Eric, and Jack says Hi! we were thinking of you this weekend......... love the Stude hope to see it in Oct!!!!...................

 

I was gonna try to make but couldn't get time off from work.
