How far are they really capable of going? A friend of mine suggested making a kind of makeshift pedrail wheel by putting planks around the rear...
Glenn: Nice car! Is that a 4x4?
Yes it was. Would be interesting to see if you could build a track driven 32 Ford.
How were they getting through these severe trails with only two wheel driving? Did they use traction aids?
I came across a video of a 1930s model vehicle driven off road as an oil field vehicle. Obviously it wasn't built for off road driving, but it...
Is this a track fit around a single tire on this Model A? [MEDIA]
It would be something if they made ab overtire track for cars!
That's amazing! How did they lower the front skis on that wagon?
Are those flotation tires?
That is awesome! I would like to build a tracked hot rod. Where caj you buy the tracks?
That’s it! Thank you! How difficult would it have been to swap put the read wheels for tracks?
I recall seeing a picture of a Ford woodie with caterpillar tracks posted on this website a number of years ago. I think it may have been a...
My dream build is an Ardun flathead.
Merry Christmas to you too!!
I wish there was a thanks button so I could thank everyone for contributing to this thread. You guys are a great resource and I surely appreciate...
Thanks for the informative replies guys! Does sleeving not take metal away from the original block? Maybe that's how Irv Gordon kept his 66 Volvo...
After visiting a local car museum, a friend of mine and I were discussing how long these vintage cars would stay in service for future generations...
How about the Rolls Royce 412? It's the only engine from the fifty years ago still in regular production today?
Thanks guys! From what I gather from your posts, the head bolt patterns are similar between the LS and Ford Small block and the heads can be...
Is the block casting similar?
There's no argument here. My point is that I am trying to determine whether or not what a friend told me is accurate information. It seemed far...
Is it true that GM's LS engine series borrowed heavily from Ford engine designs?
He's got some interesting stuff. It seems like a turbocharger would be the way to go if you were looking for 400 horsepower because the...
Has anyone out there done a turbocharged Ford flathead?
Does anyone know the equation to calculate port air velocity?
Yes I did! Thanks to everyone who contributed.
It's funny you mention that. I happen to know why small block Chevys wear out cams. In many of the older Chevy engines, the farthest back main...
Don't diesel engines have lots of stroke and high static compression?
No kidding, those top fuel engines only last one race before a rebuild? Here's the thing. I've built engines but I want to build a keeper. A 426...
Generally speaking, does engine longevity decrease as horsepower increases?
