Hot Rods The devil is in the detail, post pics of engine detailing

Here's a bunch more from a thread I started http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/engine-picture-thread.794710/page-6#post-9063096 and a few that still need detailing.

 

That's a great idea running the temperature probe line through the clamp on the outlet pipe. I have one I'm putting in my Dad's Coupe soon and have been thinking about how to route it all week.

 

My Jimmy 302 built by hamber Tony Pascarella (Truckedup).

 

Here are a few I've compiled that really get me going.

 

Here's one that we just finished up. Not the most traditional but the customer didn't want anything shiny at all. We like to use allot of different finishes for detail.

 

Banger Motor with a 4 Port Riley Head.

 

Dave Jenkin's A-Brothers built '57 Chevy. Most all the chrome was done in the late 50's and early 60's and still looks great.

Are those a pair of recently cast Hogan heads? What dizzy are you running? Couple of years back I modified a flathead dizzy with a Nash cap to run with those heads for Garth, he plans to get them CnC'ed and sell them as a package, it's A very nice set up you have

Geez, couldn't you find a SBC to put in that thing? Just funnin ya. Nice setup!

 

Engine in my T, Simple.

 

Nothing seems more wrong to me than seeing a nicely detailed motor get passed over by show judges for a block with casting flange covered by chrome and/or billet accessories.

It takes me about an hour to grind off the flash and warts on a SBC block and heads. About two days for a full polish. That should be worth more judging points than a chrome plated oil pan from China.

 

Nothing special, just a stock resto of the engine bay on my 52 customline. I used eastwoods single stage "flathead red" on the rebuilt engine, blasted n repainted everything and a macs cloth coated wiring harness

 

Hard to be different.

 

On the cart, just before dropping it in the Model A. And after four years of driving.
