Technical Marching forward 1-2-4-3, Banger time...

Are you sure your cam timing is correct?

.

 

Yes, every Brierley cam I've used is spot on. There may be slight differences in actual vs. "advertised" numbers, but I have found that to be true with most cam grinders that I've used. I won't answer the second question.

.

 

@Dave_D would you consider parting with one of those turtledecks?

 

No. And this has occurred to me as well. Probably the first thing I'll check.

 

29° Total timing all in @ 1900 rpm. 8° initial @600 rpm

.

 

Sure, I probably don't need 2 of them

 

Checking in.
Summer just finished, but still have a couple of months of nice weather for banger time.
Will get some action pics soon.

 

It depends on what you are going to do with the car/truck.
The SCAT crank is decent for a mild motor, but it also depends on the final usage.
The pics of the broken units are a compilation of some years of abuse, the one I have broke 6-7 years ago.

If you think you need more than the Scat crank, use a "B" or "C" crank, not the "BB".
IMHO, welding up the flange is necessary, drilling for oils doesn't compromise the integrity and having a proper grind job just finishes the job. Mind you, I am talking about an original Ford crank, not any aftermarket one.

Just MHO, J

 

I plan on thrashing on this motor. I was lucky enough to acquire some of Pete Richardsons old engine stuff. The engine will be blown.

I have a Burlington crank in my A motor and am super happy with it. It sees 4500rpm on a regular basis.

 

I got the new aluminum bits back from polish today. I couldn't help myself.

 

Wow! Looks great and I thought my motor was flashy…. That polished aluminum is addicting.

 

Not much news - still collecting parts.




Not too many raw castings of counterweighted B journal sized cranks capable of 1/4" stroke around these days - so couldn't help myself.

 

Helluva part to gather!

 

Saw those for sale, good work

 

Wicked cool, what's the info on that front timing cover?

 

A swap meet acquisition of unknown origin.

.

 

I am still here too forging ahead with my The Sacramento Coupe build, got my quick change built ( I made a video of it but to be honest its rubbish) and have now stuffed it under the car and adjusted my spring pack to get the ride height I want ,I am lucky to have two anvils with stands (95 kg each) so they are in the cab to act as people ! My GOLIATH shocks arrived too so it is all go at the moment to get this thing on its wheels by Monday .

 

Looks like Woodies stuff

It makes a great platform for an oil pump

 

You are probably right. I did buy some stuff from him years ago. Have you bought anything from him recently?

 

Anyone know anything about this car? Supposedly a car that ran in the late 40's and 50's.

 

I have not, it has been at least 7 years
I need to call Jim, will report back

 

Last I knew he was done...I bought a couple of his covers 5-6 years ago and he said that was the last of them.
Had the '29 out today... Roadster weather

 

I gave him a shout a few months back to pick his brain about his wood patterns, he mentioned that he was done. Bummer! I would've loved to see that mag drive in action

 

All I know is it must have sold quick, the sale post was taken down on facebook fast.

 

Ya, I called him Wednesday when I first saw the add. Went out and bought it Friday.

 

That is cool Dan, good catch.
I'll bet back in the '50's the driver didn't have a gray beard.....

John

 

Haha awesome!

 

Dan, @Crazydaddyo tell us more please

 

Saw it on FB Market Place. Was seriously thinking about it. Glad someone on the HAMB got it. All I know is what he told me. Sorry! Cool car!

 

Just another question, what would be the proper bolts to mount the pressure plate to the flywheel? I can’t do much right now but I can take them in to be balanced.
