COOLEST LOOKING 4-banger you've ever seen..let's see em'

Here's a banger that was in my 5winder b4 I took it out to go bville racing...oh yea it dynoed at 169.

 

Dont have photos but in 62 a guy i knew bought a pontiac tempest with a 4 cylinder that looked like an 8 cut in half.Came with a 4 jet carb 4 speed traney was black with red bucket seats.neet little car would chirp the tires easy and ran 110 and had more left.Thay also had a flex driveshaft thay required very little hump in floor as traney was in rear of car.

 

More pictures, TV, and tell us about what you had to do to get it up to 169hp!

Good post, I needed a good bangin.

Here is a old photo of the 220 inch Ron Kelly stroker in my 31.

 

Lame, but what the hey, my 1500 pre X-flow in my '63 consul Capri.

 

This is the new banger in my wife's car.

It is a 1800 MGB, eaton supercharger, header, big valve head, in her Nash Metropolitan. Ya I know... I will ditch that Import tweeker air filter soon.

 

Here's a few for ya...

Is that the one referred to as the Kent?

No, this is a Kent.( aka X-flow or Crossflow )
Ford Cortina GT 1600, but this one has Webers, Dry Sump, etc...

 

here is a Alfa 1600. I'm thinking of transplanting it into a '30 Chev, but it'll have to wait, I need to finish my '29 Chev speedster

 

Manyolcars posted this link a while ago - http://www.nwvs.org/HHughes/HughesNew2.shtml

Some cool bangers there, including this pic

 

How about this one...

That 100E is a Ford Consul engine, correct? Really pretty. Is that the one referred to as the Kent? And if memory serves, the Rochdale was a glassfibre kit/production sportscar.

The 100E engine is an 1172cc flathead four banger. The 100E itself is a small English shoebox-type of car. They are very similar to the Consul but a fair bit smaller. The Consul used a 1700cc OHV engine.
This is my '58 100E Anglia.

 

...and this is a Mk1 Consul.

 

Bixmen what do you know about this engine?
Is that a 4 port conversion or a mirror behind the carbs?

 

How a bout an OFFY powered Drag car, all period correct??!!
Just saw this last saturday:

 

Shot #2:

 

Look at the gauge panel and drool... I did.

 

this entire thread has me drooling!

 

in our roadster

 

Jive-Bomber, That is not an OFFY, it is HALF-A-HISSO, a very rare engine used back in the 1920's. They started life as Hispano-Suiza Twin overhead can V8 used to power WWI Spad airplanes. After the War was over they were Army surpluss and made their way into race cars. They were cut in half and became very good 4 clyinder race car engines.Thanks for posting the photos, there is a website that has nothing but Hisso powered race cars. If you run a search I'm sure it will turn up.

I dunno, it sure looks like a 4 port conversion, but i've never seen another one since...
here's a picture from the other side (it's a grab from a video i shot)



and a 4 from a 1919 Oldsmobile

 

Did I manage to piss some people off...

 

Late to the thread but here's my favourite from last year, at the Ford centennial. It's a ROOF 16v head on a T special.

The Olds had a two port intake and was often swaped onto a Chevy Four Banger back in the 1920's for more speed.

 

I found that HISSO Link http://winfield.50megs.com/Hisso.htm

 

'nuther pic of TV's banger

 

4ever4, That is Gary Anderson's A truck with 4 carbs. It is a stocker inside, the carbs on the other side are just there for you to wonder WTF. They are fakes.
The next photo on Bixmen's post is Steve Mexner's T speedster he found in a barn in northern Minnesota.
Here is Steve's other project

We have "Speed Meetings" twice a year here in Minnesota, there are quite a few guy's here doing some krazy stuff.
Wayne Atkinson is working on a banger with the cam reground to make the exhaust ports the intakes, it has been done before, but I have not seen one before.

 

fakes! that's awesome...i love when this stuff makes me scratch my head..i'll be doing a banger buildup soon,and now i'm all stoked! i'll post pics,but there's a lot of machine work involved that's way beyond me.....i have a feeling it'll be a long expensive process..

 

Wayne Atkinson, there is a name from out of the past, is he in Minnesota now? Sure is nice to be getting back into 4 bangers, hope to have the Winfield up and running over the winter. Bumped into a friend today with a Fronty that he's had for 10 years and hasn't done anything with. I will be getting the first call when he desides it is time for it to go.
