History Dick Bertolucci -- 4-banger Chevy hillclimber

HEMI32: "Here's some excerpts from the PDF that ehdubya referred to..."

Thanks Todd, very interesting.

 

the last time i saw the car it was at sacramento vintage ford ............. steve

 

I like it. I like it a lot.

Got me thinking about building something similar specifically for hill climbing in my big backyard.

I rarely brake going up hill anyway.

Think I'll ponder this a bit.

Straight six would be a nice start

 

It is a reproduction of the original. There is no suspension at all. It is a fully running car. It has been sitting here in our showroom at Sacramento Vintage Ford (yes, I too see the irony) for a couple years now. They borrowed it for the show.

Got me a straight front axle and chevy 250 straight six...ZMMMMM.

 

I'd interested in knowing what mods he made to the engine since I am in the middle of rebuilding a 27 Chevy 4 banger with a 28 head. Anybody?
