I was seriously joking, yes sir. :confused: Its not everyday a 1924 Bugatti is posted here. So my first reaction was "what pre war hot rod or...
Buddy, I sure hope you don't mind me stealing your thread for a bit. I converted my blower myself using this site, some helpful people, and a...
whoa! am I the only one who at first questioned what car is worth 400K and HAMB friendly?
as far as cooling the blower... I was going to run my 4-71 dry as I figured that was the way it ran on the diesel. I plan on running it...
honestly watch scrap values and go from there. I just rebuilt a '68 250 just to learn its has only 100psi of compression in all cylinders. I'm...
it's weird to me to feed the electric into the outlet of the mech. pump. I figured it'd be like diesels, all in series. Electric to mech. to...

Backstory- My older brother and myself have been helping my younger brother install a '97 360 magnum with a '95 A518 into my younger brothers...
bump for any block prints? anywhere? I looked through flatcaddy.com but didn't find anything.
is there any dimensioned drawings or CAD models for the bolt pattern of the oil pan flange? I need to drill all my castings and this would be the...

need that elusive brain to usb cable.....if you find one, LMK! I don't think doing the front covers are hard. If I knew more about it and had...
Thanks guys. I'll keep you all updated as I get them finished. Don't hold your breath though, I do go back to school on the 14th.

Seems like it would be beneficial to shorten the lower part of the block to make the main caps shorter along with the weak block material that...
I had a mishap at work so I'm hoping to get back on it very soon. I did make a "practice" mold before my injury a few weeks ago and it worked...

the $435-450 range seems like the ballpark for specialty pans, and I can pretty much figure why. the gating for oil pans is tricky, much more...
I plan on using pistons for "practice pours" for the actual oil pans I want to know exactly what the material is. I also want to make sure the...
I'm still chugging along on this oil pan project. I'm getting close to pouring, and may even pour next week. I'm trying to source material and...
Im not sure about that cam but I just had Pete grind mine to the eliminator 425 profile and it looks nasty. I'm sure it will sound equally as...
