Featured Features Anyone Keep Obsolete Engines To Fire Up Occasionally?

Is that his car in the photo? If it is how have you not cloned that. That car is effing sweet It's like the precursor to what would be a hot rod. No fenders no hood, wire wheels. Pretty much a stripped down sports car

 

Yep, that was my grandfather’s teenage ride. Very early Gow Job, photo would be from about 1918 when he was 16. Even in the small towns of North Dakota kids were hot rodding their rides from the beginning …
I have thought about recreating! Would be a cool future project

 

Thanks for the offer Rusty

Appreciate the offer Rusty, but only have the engine. Unfortunately, my great-grandfather got tired of looking at the the rest of the car and gave it to neighbor who made a wagon out of it a very long time ago … I still recall how pissed my grandfather seemed recalling the story to me so many decades later … lol

 

I’m out on summer break, but will fire it up when I get back to school this fall and post a video … thanks for the interest!

 

‘59 Pontiac stroker that I haven’t fired up yet. Came out of the sister truck to my Pontiac powered ‘52 Stude pickup.

I want that Pontiac engine for my new baby!

 

Do you have any better pictures of the headers on that Pontiac?They look really good.

 

I have misc stuff, but right now I'm looking for a Lister or "Listeroid" diesel engine to play with.

 

No photos but my 348 sat on its run stand at the ready in a corner for years. Started it now and then. Eventually I put it back into the hobby, sold it to a local guy. It's now wearing 3 three two barrels in his '55 delivery.
