WOW! it looks great man I just stumbled on this thread the valve covers look great with the gold I see now why you wanted to wait, and the plug wires very nice man. I am proud to have taken some small part of this.
Thanks guys! Can't wait to start it up myself... Finished up the fuel lines yesterday. It's getting there. Jason, thanks for your efforts! Intake and valve covers turned out great!
A little impatient, aren't we? Ok, so here it goes: Big thanks to my brothers, the HEAPS, for helping me out!
Photobucket sucks for videos... try this: http://s382.photobucket.com/user/ford-truck-build/media/324%20Bebuild/MVI_3197_zps6f67c398.mp4.html Add thanks Dave, for taking this picture: You guys are very welcome to post any pictures that you took...
Alright, here are some more: Here is where I realized the plug wires were melting... Lets get this rocket started!
Woo Hoo! Look here: http://s368.photobucket.com/user/57HEAP/media/100_8698_zpsb780a4b6.mp4.html Great fun Martin.
A big thanks goes out to Tony at Ross Racing Engines for his support! And also to you guys on here. Couldn't have done it myself!
Once you get finished, I'll send my Rocket down. Should be a snap for you now that everything is fresh in your memory still.
Ah, made my day; another old Kettering comes back to life......... (Nicely dressed, too. Gotta find one of those finned valley covers to complete mine)
Actually I wouldn't mind doing that. Just send a big check with it! Thanks 36 ROKIT, looked at your profile. That's a great looking engine you got there. And the '40 is nice too! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Haha! yeah, that would work! Well, I really enjoyed doing the work, so there will be another one coming up in the not too distant future. It won't be as full blown as this one though. Can't afford that!
Thanks guys! Thanks to a fellow HAMBer, I got a new fuel pump. Factory refurbished. So today I was able to fine tune the engine a little bit... <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/68008339" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/68008339">324 Olds test run</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user9047267">Martin Fuchs</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> Hope this works... Having issues embedding videos from vimeo.
Thank you for posting this! I have read it from cover to cover and I thought it was very strong work!
