TECH: Make a Bellhousing out of an old Intake Manifold!!

Dude just cause you got a flat head in the back of the truck and wont take it out, does not mean you need a mag drive for it. You would just sell it any way.

Kris I read the entire thread and gave it my vote. Very well done, we all need to come up and see this in action some time so I can build one.

 

thats alot of pop cans

 

I took it out of my truck yesterday its now sitting in the garage so yes i need my mag so i have cool garage art..........

 

Bump.

This thread is AWESOME. I've been doing some silver investment and sand casting, but this takes the casting / foundry knowledge to a higher level.

 

This thread is an example of all that is great with the HAMB!

 

awesome

 

Fantastic post! It's half the reason why I signed up to the H.A.M.B!

I am currently tracking down the parts needed for my own set up. Thanks again!

 

Thanks for all the good info. I've been wanting to do this for a while now.

 

I was out at our local recycler the other day, they had a dumpster full of aluminium wheels like a junk yard had dropped them off, I bet that you could buy them by the pound, I've purchased other scraps there before.]

Also great job on the tech and congrats!

 

Wow! This thread is amazing. I've got a friend in OZ that has cast some parts for me, and I wondered how it was done.

 

So Mr. Loudpedal, I will ask again. Rather smugly his time. What cool Bailey tool ya gonna choose, and what new project you going to build? Way to go, great post, great win!

 

Congrats!

Call Me!

 

Excellent post, congrats.

 

Thanks for the votes you guys! Thanks To Baileigh for doing this too! THIS IS AWESOME!! I'm going to get the bead roller... It'll come in handy for a big 34 3w project I'm gearing up for! I've got to go make a phone call...

 

hell yess thank you!!

 

Well deserved!

 

Excellant thread thanks i really enjoyed it. I will one day make one of them that there furnaces!!!!! Hope i dont blow anything up!!!!! Knuck from indiana.

 

congratulations!!!

 

Well struck, sir!

Excellent tech.

 

Great thread, you have me thinking!!

 

This is an awesome thread from beginning to end and a well deserved win even just for the fact of how many of us have been inspired to get out and cast our own parts...myself included! Thanks loudpedal!

 

Wow. Unreal thread. Unreal dedication to what you are doing. VERY impressive.

 

Congrats, it was a tough choice, so much great tech, but I voted for this thread. I had a strong feeling t would win.

 

Is there any home type of test to tell if those "aluminum" wheels i've been gathering are really ALUMINUM? You know, like hitting them with a grinder to see if there are any sparks or pouring a little of some liquid on them to see if it boils?

Mike

 

kudos.........

 

Is there a difference in cast aluminum? I have access to a number of air conditioning compressors. They look like a nice smooth casting. Is it the process they used to cast them, or the alloy used?

 

Man i wish i would have seen this a few months ago....i just paid $500 for that same size furnace-
thanks for the tips!

 

Well?

.....did it show up yet?

 

Man o man, you folks are super talented!!! Love this thread!!
