Hershey trailer is half loaded, will take photos of any Banger engines, cars or interesting parts, and report back next weekend. Bob

 

I'm here but not loaded, half or otherwise honest....

 

My trip to Hershey with Mr. & Mrs. Bluto is one of my most memorable. Still have the autographed radiator top tank. Bob

 

Checking in

 

watching!

 

checked-in...............to the mental ward
getting the cars ready for Nov Elmeraage, who'da thunk a valve guide and a seat would need replacing after running some juice?

J

 

Checking in. I'm here.

 

Checking in.

 

Checking in, and ready for Hershey. We're not taking any parts there but we hope to bring some home!

 

Cars are rolling in for Hershey. Bluto, there's still room at the inn.

 

Thank you but I have be to be in Czech for a flea market there. AND these damn Dr's here really don't want me flying till they stop the bleeding in my eyes.

 

Jim!
I stopped the bleed'n in MY eyes years ago by changing my brand of whisky! But I guess that's not
your problem anymore!

 

John

Haven't had that problem since I stopped buying whiskey at Fedco.

 

Just a random picture to try to start some Banger related conversations.

Have they unloaded Greyhound Vista Cruiser? They had to rent a special low boy trailer. Bob

 

Any body here going to be racing at the RPM Nationals? (West coast Hop Up Magazine race)

 

joe , where & when ?

 

The 28th of this month in Santa Margarita Ranch, Ca

 

Checking in for the month!!

 

checking in.... and have a request. Does anyone have pictures or measurements of the pushrods for riley 2 and 4 port heads?

 

Hiker, send a PM to Rick "hardtimesainit" on both here and FordBarn. He might be able to help you with 4 port info. I think he checks the FordBarn more often than the HAMB, so try both.
For the 2 Port, try Charlie Yapp from SOSS.

thanks joe ........................... steve

 

I will be heading up but not to race, I was a little slow on the up chuck and missed the deadline.

 

RE the Ford flathead V8 race at Santa Margarita: I was told (just yesterday) that the Hop Up people had originally proposed to run on the dirt. Latest info is that they're now going to run on the paved airstrip. I don't know the length they're going to run. The Hop Up folks were at the F.A.S.T time trials in July. In that meet, the track is only 1/10th of a mile. That to keep the speed down.

 

Further discussion of the RPM Nationals the 28th of October at the Santa Margarita Ranch: The races will include 4 bangers and rails in addition to flathead V8's. They'll run on an 1/8th mile course.

 

Thought I would introduce myself. Picking up a 30 sport coupe tomorrow. Plans are to go with a B engine with T5 conversion using AA bell housing and a torque tube conversion. Juice brakes, dropped front axle and convert to 12 volts. Will post pics when I get it. Already got a B engine.

Sent from my E6810 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

tell us about the B, T5 and torquetube. I would like to know how those pieces fit together.

 

This will be there! (RPM Nationals)

 

Adapters are needed, but once they are married, they seam to work together well.
