Hot Rods Old Crow's new banger motor for Bonneville 2011

Hey gang, well after a solid few months of work from myself, Max jr. and sr. at H and H Antique, and Logan Davis and Chuck at their new shop "Vintage Performance Automotive", I an happy to report that the new banger is finally together and running in the Bellytank. All test fired and broken in, she's ready to hit the salt. We loaded her in the trailer yesterday and we head out on Wed. Were still running 3 of Clives new Stromberg 97's and the Gemsa overhead cam head, but everything underneath is brand new..... Stronger, lighter etc.
Were hoping for speeds in the 160 + range. Wish us luck !!
Here's a short video:

Sounds hungry for a salt rich diet.

Hard to believe it's happening next weekend.

 

Saw a picture of it in an earlier post. Were those extra main webs oven brazed? Who did the five bearing crank? I am assuming a billet. Very nice stuff.

What a gorgeous sound, beautiful engineering. Best wishes for a sucsessful campaign. ~sololobo~

Joe Gemsa will be looking over the run with a smile.
