Technical *** APRIL 2016 BANGER MEET - DON'T BE FOOLED BY SUBSTITUTES ***

He walks the walk too and has done for years, way before Trad hot rods became popular ... here is his 29 closed cab shop truck... Riley OHV , twin SUs , on a G28T and an OD trans behind one of his own bellhousings.
It's not new , been around for years.

 

You were sayin' ?

 

I am sorry I didn't know about those products. I will definitely keep them in mind!

 

Pretty slick!

 

Hello banger friends,

I am looking for a wide front motor mount for a Model B engine, I believe they are from '33-34 and the holes are 19" apart - does anybody have one they would like to sell?

Thanks,
Will Kimble

 

My 32 mount is 12" apart and fits in the model a crossmember nicely

 

He is running a Holley 94 that we have dialed in with an exhaust gas analyzer. We both have real steep drives, 18% at one point. Creeping along my car, set up basically the same way but an A engine, pulls good at 600 to 800 RPM. He had to run faster up the hill or stall. The only real difference in the engines is the cams. I'm running a 'B' grind.
We both have A transmissions and I am running a 3:78/1 rear end ratio and he has 4:11. I have smaller rolling radius on my tires but my final drive ratio is a little higher.
He has a 4 into 1 header and glass pack
I have stock exhaust
Come try my driveway and a hill that we call 'Heart Break Hill' that is 9% for just under a mile, I out pull him.

 

Finally got the Gerber Special running. model T with a SR fronty head.

 

That sounds pissed!!!

 

that is really cool . happy for you ................... steve

 

I have never heard a T that sounds like that! awesome!!

 

Pretty torquey, especially on the floor jack. Sounds perfect!

 

Interesting, mine is 15" and I use SBC mounting rubber

 

Awesome

 

I' running a 1A in my lakes modified and while it is not driven on the street it is a very tractable engine. It will idle around 600 w.ith dual C's

 

Thanks Bill, I was planning on two BB's so it sounds possible.

 

Chocolate Myers explains in the documentary clip above:

"We're racing at Richmond, and he's got the car -- it's totally covered in mud -- and he hollers on the radio, "Richard, I need to pit." And Richard says, "Dale, I'd hate to come in and pit, lose all that track position." And Dale comes on the radio and says, "I'm gonna be off the radio for a few minutes." And then you see Dale driving with his knee and got one head and he's cleaning the windshield off." * Richmond*
GOT TO LOVE THE MAN ................... steve

 

I also have my motor (front) on 55 chevy rubber donuts . works fine

 

Think I got it figgered out....

 

that will be great ! my stuff works , but not pretty like that .............. steve

 

On the t-5 ,I used a Miller- High speed Head company Adaptor plate with a AA bell which moves the 88 s10 trans up about an inch . this set up uses a stock clutch disc and plate that I got from speed way . Has the open drive to the quickchange peddles are on a bracket that comes with the kit Bill Sheer was great to Deal with

 

went to F.A.S.T. hill climbs today . great day . saw some awesome OHV,s there . surprising to me was how fast the bangers with a c-4 were . great stuff ...........

 

I had a blast! I know I'll be building a new rear end with one of my 201's and a locker!

 

Looks like you had a good time Joe. That thing is bad to the bone. What trans did you put in there? Bob.

 

Thanks GASSERBOB, I had a BLAST!!!!!! I'm running a 39 trans with a Clings adapter. I'm looking forward to the next race but I need to use some different tires, maybe some HURST PIE CRUST cheater slicks and weld my spider gears? Ha Ha, I do have QC though! An LSD is what I really want! or a Spool if I have too!?

 

Did you win your class? Sounds great!

 

ask him about his right rear tire wear !

 

Better time without the tire spin
