OK gentlemen (and ladies as well). There obviously appears to be people of varying income groups and conceptions of what is expensive what is not...
Haha, like reading about myself few years ago. I also waited to pass the university to get my fingers in grease. Then we got married, bought a...
They're still online and the links are found from the page 6 of this thread. There's a lot of data.
There is two lines coming out (actually one that is split) from the oil distributor and one goes in. One goes to the filter (goes between the...
Well planned is half done, they're half done! In theory this this opens up a wide range of pistons to use. You only need the rods that match the...
I went through some more piston catalogs. Nothing special found. In case you found a suitable rod that has a 30mm eye, then there is a couple of...
Have a road trip to Norway :D http://vcca.org/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/149971/Mystic_Chevrolet_engine_head_p#Post149971 There is a complete...
Welcome aboard Herb, I was expecting you to join. Unsafe6 asked about the pistons. I already mentioned the Mercedes Benz and here is some...
The oil pump in the Chevy four engine is simply a transfer pump. it pulls oil from the well and distributes it to various oil basins all around...
Yep, I've also been waiting progress with this Nissan link. The Nissan diesels are more than common here, so if I only had some time to roam...
Pages after pages of Chevy four building! Finally. There was a link earlier to the VCCA chat thread, where I already explained the possibility to...
question for "97" Hi Could you give a more detailed information about that Nissan model. This country is full of diesels, but the engine type...
Great, Jimmy's Chevy is back online. I've been waiting to see the progress. That Piewagn's overdrive unit looks a lot like Borg Wagner R10 OD...
344128 and two ports? According to Hayward & Kaufmann it should be a 1924-26 single port.
Building a house, making babies, earning money, organizing club meetings... Projects get pushed into the future.
Not a Chevy four (-28 or older) possibly early six, some -29-31? Or some other GM. What is the appr. wheelbase?
A group for me, -28 speedster in the beginning stage. Now folks put a lot of tech tips and speed info here, please.
It is always worth to go and ask from the local machining shop. They can make you a set from billet and this is sometimes the cheapest option. You...
As far as I can zoom the picture the dash is 26-27 and the body line is 27-28, so the body is -27.
For some reason both restorers and hotrodders are commonly allergic to woodwork. I'm going to take it as a challenge instead, when I get that far...
You had a discussion about throttle lag. I've understood that the phenomenom was common in the early turbo cars, where charger was between the...
Great, that explains the other jet in the bottom of the chamber. Now I only need to find another one. :D I just wonder how the circuit is controlled?
Hi folks I spent the weekend cleaning up the old smithy, where several old cars had been dismantled. I did found a lot of parts for my -28 Chevy....
A comment from my son (2,5 y). I was looking through the pictures, when my son came next to me, looked the pictures and said: "I like that...
I will inform you, but I need to start the project first, and that will take a couple of years. I have house and doctoral dissertation under...
Thanks Herb. Great experience based knowledge, just what I asked for. I've understood that there is nothing much you can do for the two port...
Olds three-port is Rare with the big R. It would be The Thing for the Chevy four banger, but I'm not even dreaming of finding such a piece. I know...
I'm not actually interested that much on aftermarket parts. I'm more of into doing things than bolt on performance. Machining is not a problem....
Yes, I could use the Chevy six and those would be easy to find. However, there are two buts. Firstly, I'm stubborn and I want to use the two port...
Hi I was advised to join this thread with my questions to get some information. I'm starting the banger project based on 1928 Chevy series AB...
