Technical ***July 2017 Banger Meet - A Midsummers Dream of Bangers***

some one had fun ! now to clean radiators

 

I am hosting the "Secrets of Speed" annual mid-states get together. It's pure 4 banger fun. I've posted a thread on the main forum. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/secrets-of-speed-mid-states-shindig.1069543/ . Here are some particulars taken from Charlie Yapp's magazine.

 

The latest version of Jim Brierley's book is available now from him. Two more chapters and more pictures this time.

Great stuff, Binger. The Colorado dirt drags looked like great fun, indeed. Yes, between dirt drags, beach sprints , the mud run and "paddock bash" gymkhanas, my jalopies see a lot of fun and a lot of dirtiness. I basically douse them in kerosene, wd40 and fishoil, after I clean them off. I guess I like that the looser surfaces are a little easier on the driveline line than the asphalt and my jalopies are pretty rough machines in their finish, anyway.

 

jimski , looks like a lot of unpacking to do

 

Steve,
We moved 11-40 foot containers here......... Yes there's a lot to do.
This is only a small part of our stuff. I need to get this done while I can still see. Part numbers are not in Braille ......

 

I would be glad to come help you

 

Thank you, I gotta do this myself.

 

I understand .... just trying to get away for a few ............

 

Steve-

Did you find Waldo yet?

 

no ... hard to find him , but I'm trying . is he there ?

 

He's here but they call him VALDO

 

ahh , no wonder I'm having trouble . tell Valdo to get his butt home !

 

Mocked up seats.

did I not check in......seriously need to move some motors around out-n-in.....

 

Found an appropriate RED color, Farm Implement, Troy Bilt Red.
Taking this to Bonneville in a couple weeks.

not to be dumb , but what exactly have you done to this motor ? looks really good !

 

Steve,
In short, 5 mains, 1 3/4" cam with .480 lift and individual intake ports.
Dry sump oiling and two piece head 2.0 intakes and 1 5/8" ex valves.
Cooling goes in over the ex valves from manifold and exits thru top over chambers, no cooling in block.
Complete insanity, if it survives speedweek I will be amazed.

GREAT job of "Pushing the Envelope"!

 

Great work John.

Is the block filled?
