Technical *** September 2015 Banger Meet - Shadows Getting Longer in the North ***

If I remember correct
Both Chev and Olds used the same block back then Olds had a 2 port and a 3 port head Chev had a single and 2 port head so it get confusing best of the lot if you can find 1 is the Olds

 

Nice side drive! what circa is it?
I'm looking for one like that so I can run a Gemsa head.

 

Hi, is this 3 port Olds head your'e talking about a 1928?
If yes, then I'm off to Anderson machine to do some digging!

 

I thought it was 28 Chevy 2 port, 28 Olds 3 port?

 

That's a brand new piece made by Newens equip co in LaSalle Colorado. I can get you the guys number if you would like.

 

Please do! P.M. me the number and what it cost please.
Thanks,
Joe

 

LaSalle is just a few miles down the road from me. What other products is he working on? Always interested in new banger speed stuff.

 

The Olds 3 port was '23, and there were a couple years that Chevrolet used the 3 port head as well

 

Is the Alexander a four port? What size Winfieds are on that?

 

I recently got a AA bellhousing(?) and already have the s10-5 speed trans and would like to make my own adapter. Does anyone know how thick the adapter needs to be? Been saving large chunks of aluminum and might even try casting the piece since it should be fairly simple. Thanks

 

Luke at Newens equip co is making these modern high pressure oil pumps for you guys who don't want to rely on a modified stock pump.

 

Here's a picture of above.

 

While I do not know enough about the years for the Chev and Olds heads I Used to race in vintage classes (pre 1932 4 bangers ) with a few chev guys and all preferred the 3 port Olds heads

 

oil pump looks like a modified V8 pump .

 

Can't find Newens Equiptment co contact info.

 

I want one of these too! I've had two modified pumps break on me! (NOT FUN!!!!)
Heck, I want two! I will drop my pan for one of these!

 

to much pressure will cause leaks . mine is set @ 18#

 

You running 18# at 3,500 rpm. With or without splash rods?

 

Shot of the 32/36 Weber on my banger. Still sorting out the linkage

 

18# from idle to ---------- my motor has inserts , aluminum rods & piston . drilled crank & all that stuff .

that's a clean set up ............. great

 

Sounds fun! What RPM does it red line at and what is the oil pressure at that rpm?

 

I don't know . I have ran it up to 3500 , but I keep it around 2200 (60+mph) . I just drive like a car ........

 

motor pix in my albums

 

NEED ADVICE ............ ok I screwed up . on a banger that is all together , how do I get the oil pump to prime ? yes I put it together dry . big mistake . I have a pressurized system with a modified V8 pump . thanks for any advice ...... steve

 

Remove distributor and pour oil down thru dist hole !

 

did that with no results . ill keep trying . thanks .. steve

 

Just curious I have a stock A banger in my roadster. What would I need to do in order to run a high comp head and a Riley single carb intake?

 

be sure your bottom end is in good cond. you might like the 6-1 Snyder or similar .

 

The engine is all fresh just new to the banger world. I plan on upgrading the ignition this winter too
