Features *Lets see those detailed traditional engines!!

They absolutely rule!

 

can someone tell me where to find the finned air cleaners that are on the nailheads? Thanks

 

They were cast by Bud Ehlert in 1954 in Los Angeles- there are some repops out there but these have his name on the inside.

Extremely rare they were expensive in 54- $75 which would be line $350 in today's money. Coolest yblock valve covers ever IMHO!

 

TYPO! I used the inflation calculator for the $37 and its around $331 to be exact.

 

Be still my heart. I'm in love.

 

I would have to agree with you! Probably the coolest set of covers period! They're definitely going on my swap meet bucket list.

 

That fan guard is gross....

 

It's not 'gross'.....it's DETAILED

My 52 merc. in my 32. Edmund heads and intake.

 

1962 401 Nailhead in my 1937 Nash, made to look like a 1955 322.

 

Like the chrome straight pipes on that Hemi - any baffles in them . . . or just open to the world?

 

My work in progress.

 

I couldn't agree more, not detailed but RRish. Some things definitely detract from the car itself and could have been done better however the law down here stipulates that movable engine parts need to be shrouded with exhausts covered (Heat wrapped). The car doesn't look it, but it is well engineered.

 

So build a proper fan shroud out of tin and paint it.

 

This is engine in my avatar. 276 cubic inch,ported& polished,balanced,10lbs off of flywheel,Racer Brown cam,3speedOD,4.11 rear gears,full flow oil,Sharpe intake with 3 holley 94's, Fenton headers. Screams

 

I couldn't agree more. The engine configuration was my focus. Sadly the tastes of some people are in their a***.

 

Looks good - always love to see some full dresser flatties!

 

Not quite done, but I couldn't resist posting

 

Here's the DeSoto in my 34 Tudor

 

Hey - like the oil filter treatment . . . nicely done!

 

Here's a picture of my flathead, with dual 97's on a Hexigon Tool intake and Thickston boat covers

 

It's a detailed period correct engine, and the engine compartment is being painted as we speak...

The ol 283 is getting more aluminum. Picked up this edelbrock intake at pate.
