I have much of our Clubs history archived in my files including member lists and the roster of our first reunion (30 year) in 1982 which included...
There are 1/2" thick adapter plates made to do this, it was very commonly done in the 60's and 70's. I have several if you need one.
The 49 rods were rifle drilled for pin oiling hence the oil hole in the upper rod bearing shell. Olds did away with that in 1950 and up engines....
Ed Justice Jr. could probably add some to this, his Dad Ed Sr. and his Uncle Zeke both worked for Frank Kurtis for years. I was fortunate enough...
Ya, I have been dealing with some issues from my U.C.....I'll be back!
Hi Billy, the owner of that little 32 Truck is one of our members Tom Dement. That truck has been a hot rod for most of it's life and belonged to...
I am liking the early(49-64) Olds engines. They were all big blocks and they ruled the Drags for many years before they figured out the early...
Go with the 62, they have the same traditional look as the early Cads and they fit better in those cars. You might have to slightly trim the right...
ISKY along with Doug's headers were the first sponsors my late Racing partner Bruce Geisler had for our #219 Stude in 1961. Ed was always there...
Billy, I know Jonah a little bit, he seems like a decent guy, however he is a lone wolf and keeps a pretty low profile. He buys, builds and sells...
Yes, that is correct. Use a dab of sealer on them and you are good to go.
Excellent idea, Steve has obviously put his heart and soul into this wonderful book and needs to be supported 110% by the Hot Rod community(that...
Chet Herbert was the first one to use roller lifters in Hot Rod engines in the 50's. From what I have seen, I believe that several of the cam...
Crankshaft Company, later Hank the Crank manufactured and sold thousands of welded strokers in the 50's through the 70's with no breakage...
That sounds like a Chet Herbert roller, that is the same setup that I found when I restored the Orange Crate engine.
Oh Boy! Here we go again......:rolleyes:
I believe that Kenny Bigelow was a good friend of Isky's and for many years after Kenny's death Iskenderian Cams sold a special "Bigelow" grind...
Neither of the Guys you listed are Poks members, the car was built several years ago by Sam R.
The Nova was built by one of our Slo Poks Members, a retired body shop owner. He still owns the car.
Yup, you used to be able to call them and give them the serial number and they would I.D. them for you.
Look closely, those studs look to have a very small shoulder at the bottom which would indicate that they are aftermarket screw in studs without...
Yup, those 265 rods were quite a bit lighter than the later 283 rods. They were sought after by the early Super Stock and Stock class guys.
Well then....I guess that settles that!;)
For those that are not aware of the Olds/Cad/Buick/Pontiac engines places in Hot Rod history, you might want to spend a bit of time studying up if...
Yup, they used Dutchman for their axles. Dutchman moved over to Idaho from Portland Or. some years ago.
I can tell you first hand that when the Hot Rod Works was in Idaho communication was NOT a problem! Those guys were great!
Met him a couple of times, you coulden't ask for a nicer guy!
I would look through my metering rods if I knew the number you are looking for.
