has pictures of my car & engine.

 

Here's mine, 1957 J-2...

 

Has any of you rocketeers out there ever seen a set of thoes chrome "KNUCKLE" valve covers for a perimeter bolt 394 head?? they all seem to be center bolt.

 

Here are a couple of my mock up engine. The block and heads are at the Machine shop as we speak. The block and heads are 56. The block is .125 over with forged pistons, crower pontiac 400 rods and a Isky 505C roller cam. The heads are getting gasket matched with small block chev valves. The intake is a Weiand with J-2 carbs and a Joe Hunt magneto.

 

No, I don't believe they exist for the '59-'64 cylinder heads. Supposedly, they were tied to the J-2 program, and that was only available in '57-'58.

 

It is my understanding that they are J-2 only.

 

Here's my 57 J2.

 

Hey James,

here is my 1960 371 Olds, could not have done it with out your help

still running strong.



6 chrome 97's, will get you home, in a hurry

 

Here's my 324 with J-2 intake. It will be going in my 29 roadster eventually, but I have another motor (running) I'll use in the mean time. I'm saving up for the sure to be costly Olds machine shop bill.

 

I dont think they do either ....just wish they did. Most of the ones we see out there were made by ISKY . Im pretty sure isky just copied the olds nascar j2 items . "An isky exclusive While suplies last...at only $24.00 a pair" the ad reads . I would love to have a set for my #23 heads. maybe ill get out the ballpeen........

 

Where are you guys finding bellhousings for a muncie? How about those directly forward facing water outlets for the intake? I'll have my 394 pics up shortly. Thanks!

 

That 303 look's cool Paul, What inlet is that ???

 

Sorry to hijack your thread but while we are on the subject, has any one seen any of these before? they look like they were cast to fit another motor as well, Stude perhaps ? Seen them on ozzy Epay.
Cheers Dago.

 

I love this thread, Here's my 394 in my 32 project, +30, 10-1 forged pistons, Isky cam, 6 x 94's on Weind Drag Star log inlet, Full balance & Blueprint.

 

There is some 45 degree finned covers on Ebay U.S. at the moment, Never seen them before, Not my cup of tea i'm afraid but certainly unusual.

 

yes, those will fit Olds and Stude,
but of course the have been drilled for the Olds there.

 

the one I posted above is from Ross Racing
but there are and were several manufacturers
the challenging part might be the flywheel
I was lucky enough to find a stick (late) 371 and will use it on the '94 till the '71 gets built.

 

thermostat housing?
that should be a '50 303

 

PM goatroper02 he is makin aluminum flywheels or is havin them made.

 

Hey

here's my 371 Rocket Bored to 394, jahns hi comp pistons, Isky Hi-Rev cam, and 4 strombergs 97 on a Ross manny...

yeah, it's looks as bad as it goes...

 

Sorry Paul i meant inlet (intake) manifold, Its an english thing LOL
