M/T casting patterns on *bay...

as much as i'd like to see some fresh pontiac hemis, i think you're right, somebody's gonna fark this one up...

 

Eric I'll help you out for the Olds molds. **** get each guy on here to donate a $1.00 and no one could out bid us.

 

Damn right!

I have been searching for a Blower manifold for Late Olds for many,many moons-and the Olds/Parker heads? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THOSE ARE MAN??????

I won't bid against you, but if you decide to back out, let me know. Hell, if You need some money to keep Bidding, Let me know.
did anyone else notice the valve cover breathers? I haven't seen a set of those in years....probably because they kinda ****...but still.....

 

I agree on the "one casting house does everyone's stuff" Theory.

I have a set of Olds Valve covers. on the outside, they say "Edelbrock" in the "Baseball" script. On the inside, they say "Cal Customs,1965, Olds."-but only on one cover. (which has a breather in it where the script goes. )

The covers came out of the same box when new. They are identical except for these markings.

 

old patterns are often just wall art ,

if they have not been stored well they will warp or de-laminate

plus casting is only the first part of the problem,
do you have the core box to make the hollow part ?

and how are you going to machine the raw cast part

Maybe MT was in on the Olds factory hemi, or ended up with their paterns?
Here's a pic for ya...

I went to school in Long Beach at an old Military academy back in the 60's and one of the inmates there with me was MT's nephew. I got to meet MT and get his autograph which I still have.

 

it looks like the auction is just for the intakes, the heads patterns are not included. most of those intakes would be worthless without the heads.

I still would love to have em though

 

This is some truly funny ****.
Iv read thru all the replays to this and none of you are even close to knowing what your talking about.
This is the best ever.

 

Cool stuff.Not much good unless you want a solid intake/no runners.Like somebody mentioned you need core boxes to make cores for all the internal p***ages.

 

And you also pay more for your stuff than you need to.

 

AUCTIONS HAVE NO SET PRICE ... THATS WHY TOP DOLLAR WINS..bid early , often why wait pay the value you think is right and get it.

lo ballin,waitin,is for cheap losers

by the way HAMB views ain't helpin this case much

Anybody with casting know how should be able to make up the missing stuff ... may take a few tries but.. knowing current CAD tech.
ez enuf ... METAL REMELTS DOWN..
heck thats where all these odd ball early manifoflds used to come from ... high school shop foundry cl***es.. carve a foam centers and give it a try?

 

Uhh........more like for people who dont like throwing their money down the toilet.

 

hey Muttly... do not discourage the eBay early bidders. Nothing I love more than a couple of bidders bidding my items up only to be beat out by a sniper in the last 6 seconds.

...of course when these same yahoos are needlessly raising the price of something I want to buy... now that is another story

 

oh yes there is !!!!!!

 

best ever? clue us in!

 

i am very good friends with a foundry consultants and pattern maker Vap Head..that does have contacts to have these castings done ..if you win and are looking for a contact for quotes please let me know..i bet i could get excellent pricing and quality..

 

Sounds like TV Tommy Ivo.

 

Nope, it's Mickey's stuff.
That particular engine is a Pinhead 215.
Check out the bellhousing and the distributor.

 

DANG! Someone cast me some Nailhead blower intakes!! HEMI Ford? OH yes, imagine ripping down the 1/4 in a replica of Mickey Ts Hemi head 427 Thunderbolt......... Oooooooooooh yeah baby, YEAH!

 

Unbelieveable!
Been thinkin' more than once that where all those old casting molds go when they are not being used anymore... Now I know!

 

Photos show a few core boxs but be careful, these are "Master Patterns , dbl. shrink " which means they were made to produce the real metal patterns used in the actual casting. Most likely to make alum. or maybe cast iron patterns, (Shell molded) depending on the process that are then used to mold and cast the parts.

Double shrink means they are going to be larger than the end product and will not fit anything, if used as is.

 

No. I don't. Waiting until the last minute accomplishes nothing in an auction except for a lot of missed bids.

It amazes me to think that some people STILL do not know how ebay works.

Guys will sit there, wait a week, and use a "snipe program" to try and get an item at the end of an auction. They'll still wind up being outbid if my initial bid is higher.

Either way, this thread is not about how ebay works...

Those casting masters are cool...even if they never do anything but hang on a wall.

 

WOW, this is amazing!
I own one of M/T's engines that was in the Challenger 1 and i'm real curious where all this stuff came from. After his untimely death i understand there was an auction. I wonder if this stuff came from there. I'm going to watch this auction like a hawk.

 

I don't care when you bid or how much you bid, you are just pretend bidding if you are still below reserve.

 

My Pontiac buddy and i would be VERY interested in the Pontiac stuff. It's a one in a million chance but maybe we can go halves on this ?

 

All the speculating is very funny
It’s not my place to say any more

 

Is it your place to "laugh" at everyones suggested stupidity and then offer nothing in return? If you are here to be respectful, understand that your comments might be taken as rude / arrogant / unhelpful.

That said, maybe best to say nothing at all then....

If you're initial bid is higher, then yes, you'll win it--as long as the guy's snipe bid isn't higher than yours.
HOWEVER, if your initial bid for something is $1,000, and you put it in on day 1, then for the next 6 days, some little fish can sit there and keep thinking about it. "Hmmm...I really think I want that. I'll bid $200." You're proxy bid bumps it up to $201, and you're still the high bidder. Little Fish thinks about it for another day, decides "Yup! I want that!" and bids $300. Your proxy bid then goes up to $301. Little fish thinks about it again, and says "I'm in for $550!" Your proxy bid goes $551.
If nobody else bids, you're right--you won it for $551. But you could have won it for a lot less, if Little Fish had been the only bidder with his opening bid of $200. Then you drop a huge Max bid at the last minute, and booom--you get it for $201.
If somebody else has a snipe program, it'll bid incrementally during the last few seconds, but it'll begin at a much smaller starting point. The thing is, an ebay auction ends at a specific time, unlike an auctioneer. If the bidding is still coming in fast and furious through snipers, once the clock runs down, the bidding stops. the price will be higher, but the starting line was back at $200, with the bidders racing for 10 seconds, not $500 with the bidders racing for 10 seconds.

At least that's how ebay works for me.

To have these patterns, cores, core boxes and drilling patterns made today would cost ya over 100K EZ.. They look good but if I were to bid I would want someone to go and check it out first... They may be junk.!?!? A good pattern maker can fix them but that ain't cheep. I would ***ume the reserve is at the 25K mark or higher.... I will be fun to watch!
