Yeah, Gustav is one of the top notch builders here in Germany.
Used to be hard, but getting much better in the last years. The only really annoying thing is shipping parts from the US and the customs and tax...
Just shot a little documentary on Widegren´s Speed Shop here in Germany. Have fun, Frank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHDIzLsvU8U
Yap, good ole German craftsmanship. :D Here is my favourite pic:
Bump!
Anyone?
I have (at least I think) a 1958 Borg Warner 3speed/Overdrive in the 41 Chevy. Last week I was driving home on the Autobahn and everything was...

One more question: I understand how a PCV valve works, but it seems a bit strange to me. Why not use ported vacuum, ditch the valve (wich...
Good idea - I try tat tomorrow.
Yeah, it sat for 3 years, and the cyinders where gummed up. I cleaned and honed them carefully and put everything back together last week....
O.K. I adjusted the rod between MC and booster all the way in. I adjusted the rod from the peddal with plenty play. Now I have allmost to floor...
How about one of these? Two GMC 351 inline 6 factory twinned. The mighty GMC Twin-Six engine [IMG] [IMG] Frank
Guess what :D [IMG] Frank
Bleeded the sh....t out of it. Made sure the rod has play. Still the same. One more thing, bevore I bend new lines and remove the valves....
WOW! Thanks for the info C9. "Vacuum retard" was the magic word. Duh! It´s pretty straight forward if you use the right word. I´m also...
2 Motorbike (I think it was a BMW) gearbox covers butted together. I wanted something in a bomb shape with finns like the valve cover....
Maybe this makes you some appetite towards an inline six :D Frank
Thank´s for the link, but I already got a tube like that (vintage). My idea was, not to use a PCV valve at all, cause it thends to stick and does...
Here is mine. All hopped up 261 out of a Canadian Pontiac with "high compression" head. Milled, decked, bored to .60, Bulldog cam, solid...
I have to dig out this ole thread again. Is there any reason, not to skip the whole PCV valve and route the crankcase fumes direct to ported...
I vote for the Stovebolt. Build the Linkage out of stock inustry parts - it´s easy. Can´t beat the coolness factor of an Vette Stovebolt. A T5...
It was in the mid 80s when hopped up VW Rabits where pretty en Vouge over here in Germany and many clubs where around. Most of them just had...
Not exactly from mbm brakes, but I looked up the site and it seems to be the same kind of "bolt in" assembly. Bolts right in, yeah right LOL....
Yeah I always was told 10 kbs for drums. The MC is lower than the wheel cylinders - that´s the reason for the valves, so they said. I will check...
I need some help with residual valve before I go nuts. I bolted a power dual master cylinder on my 41 Chevy (stock drums). Everybody and his...
MY m3 runns rich as hell (even at idle) no mather what I do. I got several instruction sheets and all and tried everything. There was one shim...
Without numbers of block and head you are lost. There where so many od combinations between 52 and 53, sometimes engines where converted to...
If you paint it you are looking for trouble soon. Get some magnets and put them in there is a better idea. When you remove the pan and they...
Last week I found a wounded deer sittin in the middle of the road in the woods. I turned the car around and got back to the deer. On of the...
