This engine appeared in a thread on FB with no attribution as to from whence it came. It is a V8 obviously, and that logo on the valve cover is...
I see the distributor in front, but it's angled, so I'm thinking not an sbf. Asking for help telling me what it is.
There is one for sale on the Riverside, CA C/List. Just put in Battersby and you should find it. Guy has an interesting provenance on that item.
Note that the old Packard plant (previously discussed extensively on the HAMB) has been sold at auction for six million dollars. Find the news...
so, I've had Moon discs before but they were old-style 'snap on' that clamped to the rim. Thinking about putting some screw-on style and I'm not...
This photo came on my hometown's FB page. I cannot determine what it is - thought Willys, but doesn't seem to be. Could be a truck. If I could...
Two more photos dug up by a local historian in Lewiston, ID. John Rodeck is at the wheel of the FE Hemi dragster, and the pickup belongs to...
This photo was taken in 62 or 63. Guy standing at the left is John Rodeck (yes, THAT John Rodeck) and his buddies. All were from Lewiston, Idaho....
I'm up in the PNW for a month or so. Jim Green is selling the ±3000hp SOHC engine out of his "Assassin" fuel dragster. Price is commensurate...
My two oldest sons and I took a trip through the LeMay museum today. What a treat. Plenty of classics, vintage race cars, and even one...

This is an all-wood deuce roadster built by Larry Andersen of Vancouver, WA. Solid myrtlewood body, largely hand-carved. I saw it up close at the...
cleaning out some stuff in the shop - ran across several publications that were published or at least centered upon the Pacific Northwest Rod and...
just found these pics of a couple of my dad's cars from 'back when'. The Essex boattail was shared by him and his brother, and the '37 was what he...
Car for sale on that popular auction site. Listed as a 32 Ford with a 460 Lincoln. Engine pic shows a very nice-looking flattie. I have no...
This was constructed in 1958, was just looking it up due to a reference in a book I'm reading. Here's two pictures, one of it as it was built, and...
anybody read the name on the radiator? or perhaps just know what make/year this thing is?
I'm not very good at artillery wheels, and without a grille or other identifying paraphernalia I'm at a loss as to what make this sedan is.
A social forum I'm on had this posted (somebody's grandfather) and generally I can call the make at least on older vehicles, but as much as the...
<STYLE></STYLE>Thought this might be of some interest. It was sent to me by my machinist buddy who has a plant out at the Las Vegas Motor...
Here's a couple of dudes and their deuces in about 57/58 in Lewiston, Idaho. Clean-cut guys, sweet cars.
Google: The Packard Plat Then and now. Excellent article with photos (and overlays of then and now) of the Packard plant.
My good friend Bill in Seattle (a HAMBer) asserts that an acquaintance within his circle of car nuts owns a 59 Buick station wagon that is a...
so...reading the post/thread on that Vari-cam gear reminded me of the much-ballyhooed Dual Lobe camshaft that was being advertised back in the...
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool hotrodder, but I have always appreciated clean customs. Snapped this good looking car while I was up in the PacNW last month.
My cousin, Mike Smith, a well-known and respected Bremerton, WA hot rodder passed away this summer. He was a bit of a recluse but was ready to...
picture has notes regarding 'kids going on truck ride in early 1930s'. No other info. I see the wood spoke wheels, the hard cap roof and the...
I've had it for years - acquired it when I bought a friend's tool cabinet. The points are adjustable, and there is some kind of a center pointer....
It is official. I am closing down my company this weekend, sending everybody home (or off to new ventures), closing out the books, taking care of...
