Projects The Newbee Slow Banger Build

I have a complete b setup (motor and trans) out of a car and on my garage floor if you need to see it for a reference. Its all still bolted together.

I have a 30 A block that is 20 over ,if you want to go that way

 

I have all the reference material I need from photos of my previous car.

 

Slow....slow progress.... Jim Brierley Winfield Grind Cam

 

Another piece.... also trying to decide if I want to go to 4" on the Bore.

 

I'm in...

 

Nothing better than gunky Banger parts!! Your garage is pretty amazing!!
On the "watch" list.

 

Not my Garage. I rented space from a model A restorer. The car and the space are gone now..... working on getting the car back.

 

Made a left turn on the intake I am going to use, but couldn't pass it up. Head, intake and carb are set.
Hope to get assembly started this week.

 

very nice

 

Good score

 

That's some COOL stuff for sure!! ( Liscensed by Chrysler!!??) Research time.

 

There are details on www.fordgarage.com search for Simmons.

 

So I found something to put the motor in.....
I bought my Tudor back....

 

Jim,
Wow, how did you pull that off? Any mods to the chassis in store? Maybe do what NealinCa did to his Fordor.

 

I have a friend that has this hot-rodded Delorean and......

I had it for sale at an annual car gathering a friend has. One of the guys saw it and told a friend, who bought it through the agent I was using.... When my friend had the event this year, I got introduced to the guy that bought it. We got talking and the rest is history.....

No Mods planned. probably going to pull the bumpers and spare tire off. Now if I could figure a way to do the European suicide doors.... that would be cool

 

Jim,

You plans for the car sound great. Pull off the bumpers and have them chromed. I like your idea about the spare tire. Pull it off and add a fender well. Put a luggage rack in the back so you have room to carry things. I hope you forget the suicide door idea.

You don't need to worry about that one. I like the looks, but no way it would ever come out right.

 

Glad you got that one back. It's a neat car. The Neal in ca 4 door is pretty sweet though. Just a good lowering and that one looked awesome.

Went out to visit my motor...

 

More goodies today.

 

That Winfield head look a lot like the one I have. Does it have 14mm Plugs? Did you CC the chambers and figure the CR?

 

That's gonna have some compression!

Sent from my SM-G900T using H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

I agree on lots of compression. I would like to run my head but I don't have an inserted motor and don't want to kill the bottom end. Saving my pennies for an insert bearing engine build. It may be to high even for an inserted engine on the street. Have seen indo that 6:1 and 7:1 run the best on a street motor. I think the one I have is 8:1.

 

Man those chambers look small. I'm betting higher.

 

Finally getting ready to put this sucker together (Or rather have the engine guy put it together). Going with inserts. based on the parts above, any special need for pistons or rods? I see anything from reuses original pistons to billet rods and forged pistons. Suggestions for suppliers?

 

That head is pretty cool- looks like the combustion chambers have been reduced by quite a bit- BANG!

BIG- BADA- BANG!

 

Anyone?

 

I'd suggest a trog t shirt that someone got you to return the favor for borrowing linkage

 

Hey! Something I own Finally ran at Trog! Any photos?
