It is good to see you back. But not good news. It was about 14 months ago that I got my biopsy back. We were able to go with surgery. But it is...

[ATTACH] Chrysler flathead eight that has been 250 in a streamliner
I sure don't think it would hurt to remove and replace the old bushings. But the king pin is fixed in my Econoline axle. The spindles move on the...
all of which proves that Hot Rods are Hot Rods. They don't need to be a belly button powered car. Flathead Ford or SBC. It should be fun,...
[ATTACH] You like the Montana Dodge Boys and MoPar Flathead six engines. How about their F head conversion for the Flat six?
Challenger Sprint cars was Ken Jenkins' company. Unfortunately Ken passed away about 3 or 4 years ago. But I guess you could contact other sprint...
I had Challenger make me one of their 4 inch dropped 1/4 wall tube axle to fit my Vega. They didn't care how wide I wanted it.
Not to long ago. Ford is shown to the left. Plymouths are pictured here. Both OHV and flathead versions.
I ran a four cylinder Plymouth flathead at the lakes quite a bit. In a Ford roadster though. Good engine.
No. Actually. I would never use the lines that came with this engine. Those were on the pump when I got it. Now that I have the drive done I can...
Then I packed a bearing that somebody gave me about 30 years ago. It was in a Honda box and the pulleys are off of a Gold Wing. So that's cool. I...
Don't think many if any will want to do this. But when I got my 28 Chevy motor id had an external oil pump installed where the distributor...
When I first started getting interested in cars, 300 inches was a BIG motor. 400 was a King Kong Monster motor. Times change.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Lately I have mostly played with four cylinder engines. Small enough. But as a much younger person, I did fool with both a V860...
You realize that the crank turns twice for every one time the rotor turns? So at TDC on one turn the rotor would be on #1 Given the 153624 firing...
[ATTACH] All right. My picture was only to demonstrate the use of a pipe to stick a chain in and spread it out away from valve covers and intake...
That particular lift is mounted above my rear garage door and is more for lifting things up to pickup bed height. I can't get high enough to pull...
The post was to show the pipe and chain. It was hung from the come along to show how it looks. However my come alongs are older Rockwell built...
Dave Dozier ran a B&M blower on a Chrysler straight eight very successfully and he had a friend with a 4:71 on a six. But that is the limit of my...
Are you going to have machine work done to the engine. If so that is the guy who should clean the block. Most shops don't like boiling blocks so...
I am not sure that you couldn't get by with 11 to 1 pistons. You should check your combustion chamber size before you believe what's on the box....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] As long as I am doing this I thought I would post a couple of no welding lifting things I used. The angle iron again with big...
You guys are going to hate this. But many years ago when I bought my first GMC, the wrecking yard gave me their lift tool that they used on GMC...
That is true of any common engine stand. I have found the winch drive has enough resistance to hold the engine in place. I still like to put the...
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/rotator-for-engine-stand.734137/#post-8155589 Or the one I copied from this. After a while the belt...
[. On my way out of the scrap yard. I noticed a Detroit straight six with what looks like a blower mounted on the side. It was in a old piece of...
Absolutely save the 302. It's got to be worth $500+ if the head is not cracked. The 302 block is still a worth while find, even if the head is...
First Nitro I remember was Peak Nitro. It was a cheap(er) left over product as I understood at the time. If the OP guy just wants to idle, he...
I always ran blacky carbon. But fuel guys tell me that 10% will "Wake it up a little" Whatever that means. Personally I would not run Pop through...
