I want to thank you Fred... Your generosity amazes me and you are appreciated more than I can ever say. Also gotta thank Glenn for opening the doors to that little hot rod company - Federal Mogul... ARe you kidding me??? Thanks to everyone that did so much to make this happen. I owe all you guys. And what about Shifts? Another guy that has given so much to make this place run. He is actually building a ****** for the raffle motor this year!!!! Thanks man. Ohh, the HAMB Drags Drivetrain raffe is going live this weekend... You will be able to buy tickets online. First thing we gotta do is figure what kinda ****** you guys would want... Might be a poll coming soon!
Racefab, you are so cool to build not only one engine for last year, but to do it again this year. I look forward to meeting you at MO-KAN. Paint it John Deere green. Nothing runs like a deer. The engine in my Henry-J has been green since 1963. Thanks for all you have done, McCray
Legends of the HAMB, to be congratulated for all effort and heartach involved. Thanks for making the HAMB GREAT. Cheers, Drewfus
Paint it Ford blue. Gonna buy a handful of raffle tickets, Magnet said put a Ford in my wife's 50 Ford 2dr we just started on, I got lotsa Chev stuff around here but if I win this engine it will definitely go in the 50. Racefab look forward to meeting you at the drags, thanks for your generous donation to the HAMB.
That ****er would go great in my old 52 Willys pickup. slide a T-5 behind it and start grinnin! How much power do you expect out if it with a single holley?
You rock bud! Exactly what carb would be your dream carb for this engine. Fill me in and I'll see what I can do. Please let me help
I agree that you are a RULER and also that it should be Ford Red. Maybe you should paint it Chevy orange just to **** with people.
[ QUOTE ] Maybe you should paint it Chevy orange just to **** with people. [/ QUOTE ] dont think that hasent been discussed around here after talking to Ryan last night i think we are going to try and find a holley 600 4 barrel for it , one that is in nice shape, let me know if you know where one is Denise and we will buy it.maybe a finned air cleaner to sit on top of it. Marty has told me i can bring the adapter out to the drags and we can raffle it off as a gate prize, along with a few more goodies possibly.the adapter in the pic was for a small bore 4 barrel and that is why there is a adapter below the adapter, Marty has the other style also, and was going to swap me if we did indeed use it,Check out the guys web sight, he is going to be the place to get Hurst tires. Glenn........... a i am still speechless!wish you were gonna be at the races here in seattle this weekend
Holly 600 carb is on it's way to your place first thing in the morning. Please PM me with your address. It's being donated by my Dad, the guy with the billet wheels on his '56 Olds. He can be pretty cool once in a while.
Definitely paint it Ford Thunderbird Red. That Ford blue noise is for Mustang restorers... I'm probably not alone in wanting to hear any details you care to share as you ****on up this engine. Did you zero-deck the block, and how many cc's do those flat top pistons add?

Duece Roadster-- cash donation [/ QUOTE ] For my ca$h donation of $2800.......looks like you could at least spell my name right All joking aside................RED ...the old kind like came on Ford engines in the 50's Traditional you know.. <font color="red">RACEFAB..............thanks for all your efforts </font>
i am sorry for the mispelling there Deuce, i cant get back into the post to change it, it says my time to edit has expired 2800 wow, i am sure glad my mailman left me some of that
No need to bother with all those damned raffle tickets. Just send it to me and I'll stick it in the Raunchero. C4 Auto or a 4 speed on the ******. If it's a 4 speed I'll have to win some clutch linkage stuff somewhere. I've got a clutch pedal, but don't have the stuff down by the frame. Hats off to Racefab and all those who donated to this. I salute you all.
AhotrodGlen!! Wait a minute.. i work at Federal-Mogul at their world HQ in Southfield.. the world can't be that small can it? What's your last name Glen? Jim
Either of you guys know my buddy Tommy Gunthier? He works at FM in Southfield. He's into drag bikes and roundy round racing.
If you ever get a chance, look him up and stop in and say hi to him. He's "our" type of guy. Real crazy, do it yourselver, who loves to party and have a good time.
I will do that for sure.. I may have even worked on his computer in the past, I know pretty much everybody here, at least their name and where they sit/what they do.
If you decide to go with a stick shift I have a fairlane bell housing I would chip in. Sorry no clutch arm or linkage tho. I wish I could make it to the drags ( which I presume are in/near Seattle). My best friend lives on the rock (Whidbey Island)
