Was wondering if anyone had any pics of built banger race engines?

What holy grail parts to look for... etc... pics of that speed equipment?

What are you guys building today?

Have you noticed the monthly banger meets here on the HAMB?

 

I've had a lot of fun looking around here http://www.museumofamericanspeed.com/Collections/Engines.shtml

 

Rich I've noticed the montly banger meets... am I supposed to go there for pics/history? I don't have a current project-

I'm curious about the history aspect and pics of racing engines- didnt seem like there was much searching key words on the hamb... thats why I posted...

Thanks for the link Superdeluxe! There is some GREAT photos on that site- Rad.

 

Well, yes. There are several pictures of racinf V4 engines that have been and will be posted on the Banger Meet, Just now I put a picture of a Morton & Brett OHV conversion on there . It's not all in one place lined up for ease of enjoying. But there is a lot there,

 

You can thank Crazydaddyo for this list of links
start at the top and by the end you will have a lot of history.
I skim through all the time and pick up stuff I missed every time

you.... Mr. BCcHOPIT RULE... :-D Thank You!

 

OK here it is. The ultimate banger. Now you have seen it. Your welcome.

 

I guess I stepped on your toe Rich... Sorry man... Just looking for some flat 4 knowledge and history... not trying to offend anyone...

I really dig this 29 RPU- its so RAD.

 

Any chance I get to show my Plymouth, I take it.

 

Rich,
How fast did the Plymouth motor take you?

 

113.75 as a flathead. 135 something as an OHV. In blue car to left

 

Is it possible to adapt the T-5 to the "Banger" just as it can be adapted to the Flatty?
I mean, is the bell housing the same on both motors?

Because, if so, then I can just buy the adapter plate and make a banger cruise at highway speeds with ease.

 

Crack me up.

 

Join F.A.S.T. and you'll see lots of photos of hot bangers, with stories and how-to-do-it's. Visit www.hotforhotfours.com for an application or if you want a free sample copy ask me at jimb4e4@gmail.com We even let Plymouth bangers join us! (Hi Rich!)

 

The Plymouth is history. It's going to be Dodge-Um car now.

 

There is just a whole lot of Banger stuff on this site...

Be careful, you can spend a lot of time there.
