I've got a full Eagle rotating assembly in a 383ci SBC build that made 578 hp / 620 ft.lbs., centrifugally supercharged, making around 8 lbs....
The car gathering on top of the Gold Coast parking lot was definitely an experience! Those first couple years we wouldn't even bother going inside...
You gotta ask yourself, "if the motor was fresh and the car ran 6 years ago, why was it parked and left for dead?" Most people don't just park a...
Cool mount, I like your design. If you continue to suffer from fuel pump failures, I would put the next pump in the tank, if possible. The...
Food for thought, but you'd be surprised how much powdercoating does to smooth out an otherwise average weld. Alternatively, a few coats of filler...
I would pay a visit or two to your local welding supply stores to see what they stock and for what brands, then make my purchase based on that....
A welding tank works great to roll a round shape into a piece of sheetmetal. In fact, anything round works well, just use your body to get the...
Beanscoot's got the answer. I put a 4L60E behind a 302 Ford, so that might be possible with an adapter or two, but doesn't really make sense as...
Depending on when your BITD starts and ends, they didn't run coupes at the lakes either, until the first Russetta meet in 1948. A lot of builds...
I wouldn't attempt it without a degree wheel. I also wouldn't attempt it without pulling the head and checking piston-to-valve clearance as well....
There are a lot of companies that offer fan/shroud combos with different dimensions. Frostbite, Be Cool, Derale, etc.
I wouldn't put the sensor in the intake. That water is hot all the time once the engine is up to operating temp. Think about it for a sec and...
I would run a relay in that schematic as the thermoswitch (thermostat in your drawing) probably isn't rated for the amp draw of the fan. As for...
I'll throw a wrench in the debate and state that historically, SCTA and NHRA called a car with the engine behind the driver, rear-engined. In...
I'll take it one step further and say that the best place for an electric fuel pump is IN the tank! :D Something like this. The pump will be...
My favorite hot rod, bar none. A couple interesting facts that have always stuck with me about the car. Bill was in his early 40s when he built...
Modified F1 shock mounts under my '30 coupe. Made spacers so they'd clear the fender. [IMG]
It always makes me laugh to think of all the penny pinching that went on and yet they still developed three separate engines of the same design...
I've used the later '67+ Mustang dual master one drum/drum setup with good results. The bore is 1" as mentioned and has internal residual pressure...
FYI. US Radiator is no longer located in Vernon, CA and was acquired by Brice Thomas last year and moved to a new facility in Alabama.
You're limited with how low you can get the rear with the spring over the axle no matter what you do to the frame/rear crossmember due to the...
Hey, I was feeling generous! LOL
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] My '53 331 Chrysler heads came in around 98cc.
I used an AA bellhousing with a Vintage Metalworks adapter mated to a Camaro T-5 with an S-10 tailshaft and even with that setup, the shifter ends...
Using some quick cocktail napkin math, your Flathead needs around 312cfm at power peak. That's at 100% efficiency with a 239ci engine making max...
While the center carbs might feed all the cylinders (assuming it's an open plenum design), you might find that the outer cylinders run lean while...
US Radiator
I always thought it curious that they could stamp these intricate sheetmetal shapes and then the floorboards/toe kick was wood. Always seemed odd....
General go/no-go cylinder wall thickness is 0.200-inch. This is found by sonic testing. Sonic testing does not show porosity or other iron...
