One of my customers always talks shop with me and one day brought me a stack of goodies he's had collecting dust. Now I've got a hampton magnesium triple fin blower and a magnesium crower 8 port injection setup. Among other sweet stuff I scored off him...commence pics! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Wow. That's one of the things on my must have in my life time list. Nice score Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Well thats pretty damned cool. Better throw a screen over the front of that scoop to keep the buzzards out of it. Have you checked the blower out is it still within spec?
All of it is in great shape. Also got a vertex magneto, filled 327 4bolt, steel crank, alum rotating assembly and 202's. I'm either going to build a nasty alcohol small block or save the setup for somthing else. I've been dying to build an a/fx car Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Almost exactly a year ago I wrote the above... And pretty much on the day a year later I made a deal on this... Picked it up today, Didn't want to jinx it until i got it home. And yes it's Yummy!...and I'm still drooling! It's not going on the 29 Phaeton though...It still getting the Hilborn... It will end up on my freshly built 402 Poly in the 30 sedan....later!
Thats pretty cool. I wonder who all remembers Hot Rod Magazines 2 part blower shoot-out in the eighties? The story is, for the "big blower" shootout Hampton parked his t-bucket in the parking lot, pulled the blower off, bolted it on the test motor, trounced all comers, went back outside, bolted it back onto his t-bucket, and drove off into the sunset.
Front bearing plate is different then the one above......so you saw the first, and then found this one? Nice. Love the color combo too. Have fun twisting the axles off. Yeeeeeeha !
Now that's what I call one hell of a centerpiece! I'd just bolt it in a RadioFlyer and sit on the mailbox of a bird catcher and then coast down to a cruise night ready to take on all come'rs. "I need my mirror boy"
