How many of those "modern" engines showed up at Tulsa this year for the SDRA season? 292 chevy and 300 Fords?
What took you so long getting here? Nice to see you around Ralph. Mark
I never find any parts at the Rumble, but I do get alot of leads on where to find them. Its tough being an Orphan. Had a great time, as usual....
I want to thank 88Daryl88 for pointing me here. Haven't had much time to dedicate to the hobby lately - but you guys' Banger threads are the...
thanks guys, problem fixed!
Or is several threads missing from this section? Says there are only 2 pages of threads, I know that isn't right. Have we had a system dump -...
I have become a HA/GR spectator. If nothing else, economics are putting me in the bleachers and I don't really see any "play money" coming down...
The valve guide looseness may have contributed to your rpm ceiling. Mopar stock valve springs aren't going to let you go above 6000, if the...
Its possible that the damage was from dirt/grit/shavings from your build. I've seen that kind of unexplained bearing damage before - and it was...
Uh yeah, I figured you'd be around somewhere. Aren't you the 300 Ford Six tech advisor for the Inliners now? Does this answer some of you guy's...
I've actually discovered over the years that its EASIER to find stuff that nobody else wants, or really needs. Most of these engine types fit...
I'll probably build a gear jammer myself. Which would mean that I'd likely never win, I'm not that good of a shifter. Some sort of functional...
I sincerely hope its not your health causing the sale. I say you dump the saginaw, go with a modern Jerico or something of the like - and give...
Naw man, you ain't full of shit. Its gonna be interesting to see the result this spring. This is gonna make us old iron lovers work much...
The 292 in our Allis tractor is probably running in the 330 hp range. Stock rods with appropriate treatment, Ross flattops, ported stock head,...
I'm thinking oiling too. The reason being this is a main bearing problem. Even rpm related failures happen at the rod journals. If things...
It was really good this year. Nice weather (not too hot!), I talked most of the day away to folks coming by the '49. Don Coatney and his lovely...
We turned our 230 in excess of 5000 rpms for years with no bearing problems, so its not the crank per se - if the oiling is going well? Any...
I'm diggin' the Aussie A model a'la HUDSON. ALOT! Hud
If one reads the above statement over and over again, it becomes completely oxymoronic. Nostalgia by definition IS long defunct iron. I also...
I just finished typing something to the effect, " I admire Corey's philosophy with a renewed appreciation". I'm still having a hard time dealing...
I'll get over it, and do something. The whole affair is driving me more toward the hard-line HA/GR philosophy. The attraction to SDRA was the...
I've never legally raced in my life. I got busted for road racing (they ambushed me at home), and changed my ways afterward while trying to get...
I'm kinda heartbroken, pissed off, and generally put out with this whole venue. I just read the SDRA's new engine rules. They pretty much just...
Glad I haven't built one yet. No way in hell I can compete with a 292. I'm abitious, not plumb stupid. I am totally disappointed. Beyond...
Yes, that is a 308. The tell-tale sign of a 308 is the cast reinforcement rib running along the block just above the oil pan rail. 262 and 232...
I was tuning up on a Silver Diamond 220 today. I also believe the IH has everything and perhaps a tad more to offer than the Jimmy engines. One...
They're using the big Red Diamond engines in the antique pulls these days. They moved the vintage date to '58 and in some cases '62. The Red...
Here's my writeup of the Audie Quick Flow posted elsewhere. http://olskoolrodz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51444 I've been amazed at the...
