I whittled my own v-belt pulleys and did this. [IMG]
It was an honor George and I'd do it again if you needed the help.
This last year has been a crazy one. Been to busy just doing life and haven't hardly had any hot rod time. Darn near absent from the HAMB....
The .500 lift thing isn't like the sound barrier or anything. Think of it as around .500. ;-) I also faced the rockers so that bought me a...
Then there are mousetrap spring revkits that install on the rocker shafts. I've no experience with these nor have heard how successful they were.
Oh yeah, starting at 185# on the seat and a 566 rate that puts me around 490# open.
Sorry, kinda late to the game here. Donnie Johansen helped me chose a solid roller cam with the following specs. Intake 260 degrees duration...
There's right and there's easy. They aren't the same. Do it right.
Been running a steel faced aluminum Weber flywheel in the 31 Pontiac since I got her together. If you are making enough power, it'll work great...
Dre racer speaks the truth! That's why God made chutes. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Looks great! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Cool looking forword to it! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Oh, for what it's worth I bent up 5 Smith Brothers adjustable pushrods before I had Gary convert the rockers to adjustable. With some 3/8...
They're doing fine. One of my rods isn't. I hope to blow the motor apart and fix it in April.
Gary Roushkolb from Wichita welded mine on but I can't remember what he used for filler. I sent him a text so lets see if he can remember.
No Squirrel, it's on my 31 Pontiac 5 window. The digger has a good old fashioned vertex.
Thanks for the responses guys. I should add some more detail. Some 12 years ago when I got her running I used the oem dual point to trigger a...
Yesterday my Mallory Hyfire box in my 31 Pontiac crapped out for the second time. What ignition boxes do you all use and recomend? Thx Posted...
Here are a couple. I couldn't afford a Cragar blower drive so I whittled the pulleys and made my own v-belt drive. [IMG] I made the lake style...
I'm so sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Yeah Beaner, I've been hiding. The 354 in the coupe has a vbelt drive I cooked up because I couldn't afford a Cragar drive. I run stock forged...
Nice work Rusty!
If that galley plug is missing by the intermediate shaft dist gear, you will have no pressure at all. I usually drill a .050 hole in it to lube...
Gary is spot on. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned rockers yet. Once lift get's beyond around .525 rocker arm geometry gets weird. The...
You got it made Mark. Here's mine. [IMG] [IMG]
I love my 59 Plymouth Suburban, even if the engine is hurt right now. [IMG]
If you're gonna break something Randy, might as well go all out! Might explain the cap it tossed. Way to go!!! ;-) Sorry Sam that I...
Once again, a huge thank you to Ryan and his crew for the HAMB drags! I had a blast hanging out with friends, seeing great cars, and just...
The car was scary and his tow rig was scarier! I forget but didn't his steering column come apart that took him into the rails?
The garage crawls were pretty awesome too John!
