    tractor pulls. called s t r e t c h i n g the rules. they could run tunnel rams, but only one carb.
    modified 4500. 2 bores for each ram. will try to make it work on the 671.
    i like being different from everybody else. :D

    asked the speed shop for a base gasket. he said no.
    asked for air cleaner. said no again.
    what's become of these old speed shops. seems like they don't have anything anymore. lol

    This engine powered the Harrell Racing Engines Model A that Willy drove. The Harrell, Borsch and Muse Model T came later built on a muffler-moly chassis and eventually that car was campaigned by Marcellus and Borsch.

    BTW, the July 1960 Hot Rod Magazine feature on the Model A described the blower as a 4-71.

    Hello,

    I just posted some information on the history of the Harrell Brothers and Willie Borsch and this fabulous roadster we saw at Lion’s Dragstrip in 58-59 season. It was very impressive up close and personal.

    Since it is the only recorded film of the red Harrell Brothers red roadster, perhaps it was the record setting day at Lion’s Dragstrip in So Cal back in those early days…YRMV

    Cool. Thanks
    I'm building a Model T roadster pick-up with 327ci Packard 8. I'd never considered a blower, but.....

    Went to @Deuced Up! house yesterday to check out his new Frenzel blower and it’s a superb piece thought I’d give you all a sneak peek B4CA1ADF-431C-4796-9DFE-3C614F61E096.jpeg

    Nice, I had plans to show up but stayed at home for a buyer to show up and help relive my excess of stuff I don't need.

    Also I have this nice piece that I’m probably gonna need to sell in the near future but for now I’ll just show it off D89DC226-107A-42F3-B098-3BFAC4FE2233.jpeg 686E5C3A-A9AB-4092-9D9B-502ED16D04D0.jpeg if you look closely the lettering is cast upside down when it is mounted on top of a blower but this one is for a potvin setup when the injector is mounted on a potvin it is correct
