I forgot about the roller rocker question. I don't think that they are necessary on an old, low RPM build. don't forget that they make the fastest...
Mosquito--I wrote out a reply Monday and posted it (I thought) but some how I screwed up and it got lost. Sorry. My reason for saying not to...
VW adjusters at the valve end-yes, but no valve adjusters any where else. Send us a photo when you are finished ! Herb
Hi Mosquit0- On something like that I am unlikely to make a drawing, just ''design'' by eye--but I will look in the archives of the cave, You...
''I can't help it'' said quickly? Herb
Open to reasonable offer--Herb
OK I was wrong (again!) Never thought that a Seven had enough b**ls to do that. I would be scared to death to wind a two main crank that tight...
And someone tilted the camera! Herb
For sale, 150 HP Mustang chassis dyno. NO electronics or measuring equipment with unit, aside of power absorption unit, but can be used as a...
There IS a way around that, Mac, but we don't divulge it to Southerners Herb
That would be an interesting piece to aquire, Herb
Bearings? We don't need no stinking bearings! Herb
Andy-- You asked if it was worth it to counter balance the crank Well, it depends. All of this is independent of wether the crank is drilled or...
Another way that I have heard of is to run the engine at close to peak torque RPM (for street) or peak HP (for race) Full load, wide open...
I can only wonder how many hours of flight time it would take for one if those tubes to crack from engine vibration, or one of the bolted joints...
Andrew, I have always wondered about the port inserts also. I think that the vaporization of modern gas is more a factor in their not being needed...
Kume-- I would go with A pistons and rods. Seems safe as I think that quite a few have done it, A few more cubes, and a little more compression...
Andy The three larger ones with cut-away skirts look like .040 over 1928 pistons--the only year that Chevy used aluminum pistons in the fours....
''Just wondering what the general opinion is on the Flathead Ted's Model A Ford mechanical brake upgrade ? Stock Banger project, just wondering...
I cut the rear from a '27 bell hsg, removed about an inch (as I recall), and put a new rear surface made from 3/16'' 4130 plate to mount a Volvo...
Neat use for a '26-'27 block, but I hope that it isn't a usable one----
Bunch of crud from inside the block got washed into the radiator? Herb
Rockers will NOT interchange, because '27 back are 1 to 1, '28's are 1½ to one. I put a Volvo M40 trans (4 speed) behind the engine in my avatar...
Did that. Not recommended. About that angle, but got it down. Ground end of rear bumper, just for proof. Spectator mowing his lawn seemed to...
I would be interested in a rear shaft also, if you could be talked into making more. I have thought of doing this numerous times, and probably...
8 cylinders, and an automatic trans? Really? Herb
Back about '64 or so, I had some ''Novi 500" Fiats. 2 cylinder air cooled POS's Here is the last one leaving. Set up this joke photo. Guy in...
Actually, Tom,the reverse gear in it's transmission broke----- Herb
