Waiting for covid to clear up before I go around my parents again (motor is in dad's shop). After losing two family members, dad is now taking...
I hadn't seen his BMW until I searched it after I saw your post. That is the look I am going for on my 1954 Studebaker. ...just a nice clean car.
Dad measured and said it was .120^ down in the hole!!!
This motor is getting a set of World Sportsman II heads with 64cc chambers and a Summit 1105 cam.
Well, it is going to get real flat tops (Sealed Power H631CP w/ 2 valve reliefs and 1.560" compression height) and an old set of GM pink rods. I...
My guess is 0.060" just eyeballing it.
76cc chambers. Deck height unknown. Gaskets were Felpro .040"? Pistons are dished with 4 valve reliefs and have a god awful 1/4 taper around...
Cam was the second smallest Lunati voodoo .454/.462 lift 213/219 duration. The 268h is .454/.454 lift 219/219 duration. I know modern grinds...
Last year I hurt the motor in my truck while having too much fun. I replaced it with a 4 bolt main 350 that came with another project car. It...
I still have the beater flatbed. Motor is getting changed up again with swap meet parts....world sportsman II heads and a summit 1105 cam...
Still working on it....
Still taking up space on the workbench....holding c-clamps mostly.

These are the first aftermarket heads I have ever bought
F*ck yeah! That is all I have to add.
Anybody have any experience using these heads on a street motor? It is my understanding that they are mostly used on dirt track cars. I am a...
The tag on my hood.....[ATTACH] I'm guessing they made the other pieces too.
Thanks. I think I am going to raise the front wheel opening about 1", but I am really happy with the look. Not full on Bonneville, but...
Now with coil springs installed
Holy crap what a day yesterday was. I figured out this fiberglass front end has every aerodynamic cheat allowed by SCTA. The big one is the...
Quite a few were see-through.
Late to the thread...that car looks like it could have come from that Indiana auction where you bought the Muntz/Curtis.
They might have been nice when the dies were brand new. Once somebody crashed the dies, all bets are off. Some poor maintenance guy had to put...
The grill looks good!
I drove 22 hrs to New Mexico to buy a rust free truck from the desert only to find an ex-navy truck that had 1/4 inch tread plate floors, bullet...
Does anybody know what has been done to the ass end of the car to get the quarter panels to fit the wheels like this? Has the very back of the...
A family of possums.
Chrome steel wheels with black walls?
I mocked it up with the narrower axle today. The tire goes way up in the fender now. I had been thinking bonneville look....but wide whites and...
The stude axle was long gone. I found a 57" wide axle but it was 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I pulled the axles and drums and carried them to a machine...
