Features *Lets see those detailed traditional engines!!

Nice engines folks ! Let's see some more

 

here's one of the coupe engine

 

Almost forgot my nitro injected (90%) 377 in my rail

 

How can you use the word TRADITIONAL enigine and SBC in the same sentence?

 

That's one of the best I've seen! Slingshot is awesome! Stay with it..you'll get this flathead thing down pat one of these days.

 

bump

 

personally, i cant stand seein plug wires draped all ovr nice valve covers. plus, its a pain to get the covers off when covered with a wire web.

 

also, sbc here right? whats with the waterpump setup? anyone got an idea, or maybe the owner can chime in?

 

Maybe because they were made in 1955 and there are a host of original built 50's Hot Rod's that were built with them.......

 

Y-Block Powered Crosley or how about a Chevy Stovebolt six,or a MOPAR Slant six, or a '50 Olds Flathead Six?

 

Ok heres mine.

 

Seems like you just did...

 

Holleys! mm mmmm good>

 

I thought this was about dressed motors, I dont see one here!

 

A pair of vintage Cal Custom valve covers filed smooth between the fins, a Brodix intake smoothed out with abrasives, and an old Enderle timing cover got this 1965 327 to start to smile. I've recently been detailing an old Hurst motor mount for it.

Then we get a little crazy.















I did this to see if I could. I used two weeks of evenings, a die grinder, and a D/A sander to turn this cast-iron tall-deck 427 block into this. The intake and heads took longer. The block, heads, intake, and valve covers were all rough sand castings, so it took some work to get them all even.

There's more about the shiny rat here: http://www.roadsters.com/power/

Here's the coupe that one of them is going in: http://www.roadsters.com/coupe/

Here's my 60' Pontiac 389 that's coming along. Never used Weiand intake and sum NOS Cal Custom covers. Rebuilt Carter AFB carb. Some of the replaced parts are NOS (Horn relay, regulator, rad cap) except Oil and Temp senders, belts/hoses. Rebuilt P/S pump and generator. I did the distributor with NOS parts too! I have a Mallory dual point that I'll pop in from time to time

Note: you can see where it sticks out a little in the front. It's no big deal, but alot of work went into it, to make it right and close to the original. I had the cast Iron 2bbl prior.

 

Here is the early Hemi in my 32

I believe this water pump set up is made to move the fan up higher on the radiator so it cools better.....

Not overly detailed but here's the 235 in my wagon

 

Here's my dad's in his model A
