Now thats what I call cooooooooooooooll.........................

 

I might get clubbed for suggesting "chevy" carbs, but how about 3 rochesters?? get you some more cfm, and maybe get a little closer to the demon, but still look at least somewhat vintage. Or build a 4x2 ram log for 3-bolt carbs?

 

No need for a "clubbing" I have always liked the old 2GC, they are a pretty good carb IMHO. The Q-jet too, all the bad jokes come from guys that just don't know how they work.

 

How did it do with the 4bbl compared to the 3x2s?

 

It did a lot better, of course, but due to some mistakes on my part he didn't get to show full potential. That wheelie in my avitar looks cool but it's from a second gear start. DOH!

I will be installing the "real" engine in a couple of weeks, the engine that's in it now is still my extra pickup engine. I think it's time to put that one in my '58 too, my clutch is going to need to be changed soon so that's a good excuse. I can tell everyone that my pickup has a 10 sec motor in it.

 

Are you going to see what it will do with this setup on a good run before you change the engine?

 

Awesome thread!

 

I'd like to but I just don't have time before Eagle Field and I have to put the 322ci engine back in for that. It's been a good runner though, I think the 322 will actually be stonger.

Gotta be legal for Eagle.

OK, getting ready for ANRA at Famoso and done with Eagle Field from last week. I put the cam from the 322 into the 338 and went back to the four barrel and Blue Thunder intake. I think it will do very well.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!! Loved every second!

 

Another great day at Eagle just for the fun of it!!!!!!!!!! and it was FUN!!!!

 

That is the best thing about a car like this. Not the fastest but it always ready for the next race at the end of the day. Knock on wood.

 

Love the videos Tim, the one mounted on the cage gave me goosebumps

 

Off topic I know, but love the old military (Brit/Canadian) Triumph TRW in the background of this photo.

 

Thanks! I like it. It's been to Bonneville twice with me. BTW it is a Canadian AF bike that was in a crate till 1974, I'm the third owner since it was ***embled.

 

The early TRWs had head gasket issues, the head studs were too small. If you blow a head gasket and you have the 5/16 studs replace them with 3/8 studs and good things wiil follow.

 

It did have a problem when I first got it, head was warped badly but gasket wasn't blown, re-surfaced the head and re-used the gasket as it was impossible to find one. Works great now! If it happens again I'll look for a new gasket and remember the stud trick.

 

Awesome build!.... and I'm only half way through reading it!!! Will have to re-visit as time allows.

 

A little tease here. This engine was ment for the Uni but since I will be staying in D cl*** it will now go into the Dragster. The engine in Elwood will go into the A Tudor I'm building.
