Scot Blown Ardun "Door Stop"???

This "Ardun" is basically a conversation piece / door stop in one of my customers machine shops... I walk past this "thing" at least once a day on the days I am working there.... Can't keep my eyes offa it!!!

 

looks like it to be someone's retirement nestegg

 

That "door stop" needs a car built around it. What are the carbs?

 

What a waste of machinery...

 

That would fit perfectly in my original '32 Roadster. Deserves to be in a hot rod.

 

You have asked a good question there.... I will check on that the middle of next week when I am there again!

 

For you or I, oh hell yes... It's gotta be the "Holy Grail" of 'Arduns" to ME!!
To these folks it just another piece of our automotive Hot Rod history being preserved ... It is in plain sight where most of their customers go...

 

What's the story on it?, does it have any history?, did they ever run it in anything?

 

All questions that I hope to answer after i work there late next week....

 

you should have asked all these questions the 1st time you saw it!

This is a Customer of mine..... One that keeps me very busy... It's hard to "gawk", Very unprofessional looking, you know. Impressive stuff yes! Questions over time, when right... Or I get too damn CURIOUS to wait any longer! No mystery's on purpose...

 

FAR OUT! Oh... the rod that could be made from that... My head is spinning!

 

You’ve never seen a Rochester?

 

what a gorgeous engine! are the enternal part in it? or is it a display peice?

 

Sure, they are "2-GC's" most likely, but it's a runner, and I want to know the whole story, don't you? Maybe an "Alky" setup... I dunno, yet. Hell I was working there for 20+ hours a week for over 6 months before I got the "nerve" to take those 2 pix! A "highly professional" environment.....

 

No It's a complete runner. These folks have 2 Dyno rooms, I am sure it has made a "Pull"... You can bet I will ask!

 

"Spares" These guys are serious Hot Rodder/collectors...

 

And you can bet they know exactly what they've got.

, and now so does everyone else in the world.

 

Is the block aluminum?

 

1 - That's why they have it...
2 - They are not into braggin, but are not bashful either

 

prolly not worth much, the block isn't yellow and shiny

 

Yes it is.

 

Say what?

 

Ferguson motor

 

Correct, with Vintage SCOT setup, and early style water pumps, it would appear... as opposed to the Chevy type pump..

 

Its probably his supercharger also .... he does the bigger cad style one for the ARDUN'$
