Oldsmobile Rocket What should be next?

A lot of you have seen the new aluminum head.
You already have known about the mini starters,roller rockers,roller timing sets,cams,forged pistons,H-beam rods,stroker cranks,Ign systems,std shift flywheels,bellhousings,automatic trans convertions,motor mounts,remote oil filters,and misc hardware that we have

I must look at the future,The question is,
What's the next gotta have engine/trans part?

Tony

 

How about some rocker covers to make a rocket look like a SBC?
Guy

 

Nailhead stuff, and a Ross Racing Engines website!!!

 

Some affordable (not like the $850.00 Hildebrants I saw on the Bay) rocker arm covers with the dimples/bulges, and an aluminum 4bbl manifold, for sure. And make a medal for yourself for those heads.

 

Always a Smart *** in the crowd

Tony

 

It would be nice if you had a catalog with all your products and service's. I ended up with one of your mini starters that i bought from someone else, I didn't even know of all the product's you have to offer. By the way, the starter is *****IN!!!!!!!! just my two cents. Best of luck. Todd Ps. Mark me down for a set of heads.

 

sounds like you just about have it covered
'cept maybe an aluminum block and billet crank

great stuff Tony
looking forward to seeing the heads in production

 

no one has said alum water pump housing i think it would be nice and if they looked stock i would buy a few the cast ones just way a ton

 

Just my opinion and may get hell for it if it does not come across the right way
but I think you have been on the right path with all of your products you don't try to exact copy/reproduce something that has already been.
like some people could say well I need a pair of Fenton valve covers, Cragar intake, Hildebrants ect, ect, I just can’t understand sometimes when a company would not want to pride them self’s,In making their own name
allot of the vintage speed parts are just that vintage. That has or has not made a name for their self’s threw racing and experimenting during their time in history

Well I think

you improve upon a product that has been made already or make a complete original unmade part with your name on it and your pride into it , Not just a copy and paste part and think years from now maybe people will being trying to find that rare set of Ross aluminum Oldsmobile heads to fix up there then really old hot rod I think that would be a great feeling good work Tony

Oh I second with Paul billet cranks would be nice

 

Water pump housing would be good, maybe boat style with the biscuit type engine mounts incorp, but uses all the stock water pump inards, not an external cam driven pump................... get it all polished up
Water cross over for when you use a log manifold.

And a catalog of all the stuff you have.

 

Thanks 303racer
You hit the nail on the head with your thoughts
And the front cover has been discussed

I also want to say wether on here or on the phone, Im the one you guys will talk to about our stuff ,and Im a hands on guy,But I also have the support of a couple of key people who made some of this a reality.

Tony

 

Tony,
Love the stuff you guys are putting out. I think the idea of an aluminum timing cover would be sweet. I am already thinking of what bank to rob to get a set of your heads.

 

alumn pentroof nailhead with 4 valves per cylinder. just needs another set of rockers n' valves on the other side.

 

Ross Racing finned aluminum valve covers. Definetely the water pump housing. '56 style dizzies that drive off a 303/324 gear. Header flanges.

 

Water Crossover for log manifold
Finned oil pan for 324's(please!)
finned water pump/timing cover
finned fuel pump block off plate
That's a start.

 

I do an MSD convertion dist for all the engines now,and I have header flanges for all the port shapes
I also have bronze dist gears for the roller cams with the early oil pump drive

Tony

 

The oil pan is another good one cause am about tired fixing OEM ones between the crushing and the rust holes

Tony

 

It's all been said.

Water crossover, stroker cranks(billet or otherwise), and a front cover(with and without water pump), and maybe a few different intake manifolds.

 

I do some strokers now 430CI

Tony

 

Tony i would definitly be interested in a finned Oil pan and Timing cover.

 

an aluminum case & bellhousing for the dual-range hydra-matic.

 

I know you make header flanges, but how about complete shorty headers for the 49-56
Olds used in 35-40 Ford w/ stock steering and old style Hurst front mounts..(might actually
be some demand for these today..)

Finned valley covers would also be nice......
Robb

 

I think the aluminum wcfb 4 barrel intake would be a homerun. Love multi carbs but sometimes driving is more fun than tuning.

 

that makes you as crazy as I am...

 

One thing I always wished someone would produce is an aluminum sbc race head w/fuellie markings and no mounting bosses. I know, I know, I said sbc but if your going to do it you might as well do it right. As far as Olds stuff goes, blower manifolds and an authentic Cragar v belt style drive for a 4-71 would be sweet.

 

I'll take some of those aluminum cases and bells too. Guess that makes me even more crazierl.

How 'bout Aluminum valve covers with raised OLDSMOBILE ROCKET letters?

 

i second this.....it would be nice to have a alum. 4bbl intake.

 

I think the aluminum version of the stock iron timing covers are the best suggestion so far,

with the aluminum oil pan second.

 

How about a website so we can see everything you offer and your services.

 

The Finned oil pan and timing cover sounds great!!! would be cool to find an oil pan that fits, all the stock ones I got are bent
Can't wait for your next great part!!!!
By the way, thanks for the fast shipping, I already pressed the pistons in and put the crank in last week. Great parts!!
Thought I would never own a stroker olds, especaily in germany You made my dreams come true
Also, my friend and I overhauled the 303 yesterday, and will do the rest on sunday. The Felpro Gaskets from you are way better than those BEST Gastkets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the ft. lbs list!!!!
