How would I obtain one of these?

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] As it sits, I’m waiting for my hot rod B engine to be finished. Have a few others things to do while I wait. Maybe I’ll start...
Made the 1500 mile roundtrip to Schwalm’s to drop off all the pieces for my B engine build. Left my house 11:30 PM on Thursday night and made it...
Thank you
Thanks for the reply, The valve spring tool I have worked for the stock springs and retainers but is inadequate for these springs and retainers. I...
It’s been a while but I find myself tearing down another engine. It’s the first time I’ve come across these adjustable lifters. What tool will I...
It’ll be here Tuesday. I figured it was the best way moving forward not being a machinist or knowing one. I still would be interested in having a...
It seems difficult to find someone who is capable or willing to build a full pressure insert bearing B engine. Any recommendations?
Somehow I missed this thread. Thanks for taking us along. I love seeing banger powered cars really being used. I must not be crazy pursuing a...
I'll throw in my 2 cents although I'm just gaining experience with bangers. When my Model B was running, it had a single 97, it ran well. I've...
It’s made by Belcher Engineering in the UK. I’m not quite sure where I first saw one but I thought it looked cool and the engine it was on seemed...
I see what you are seeing. The supplied head gasket(Best 509) appears okay to me. Unfortunately this head is going to be used on a new build which...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Looks like a planned engine build is getting closer. A bunch of parts have arrived to start the month off including a GEM 7:1...
Things were going well at the end of August. I drove the pickup about 500 miles or so, including a 150 mile round trip to the Cheatersma Car...
Thanks for the thorough and thoughtful response. I definitely was/is of the mind to have a B engine or two built but the Burtz crowd has given me...
The best car show in the area. Had a great time, saw some great cars and spent some quality time with my 82 year old dad. Plus my Model B pickup...
As I go further down the banger rabbit hole it’s time to build an engine. I’d like to keep it simple with a 3.54 gear and V8 transmission. I...
My Model B is marking its territory despite me being very careful installing the oil pan. It appears the front seal leaks on one side where the...
It seems that Dan Price's website is down. Does anyone know if he’s still in business?
Jim1932… it appears that you and I have the same clutch and pressure plate. Using a 2x4 my measurement is 3/4”. I seemed to have a decent clutch...
Here’s what I got. I had to climb over quite a bit to get at it. I would have preferred it been out in the open. I’m hoping my friend is able to...
Still at it. Had a trans mishap while taking the truck out for a few test runs. More to come next month. On a positive note a friend found a...
Making some progress! [ATTACH]
More cool stuff… I graduated high school in 85. Model As and bangers were not on my radar at the time. I’d like to think I’m not an old guy yet.
Looks very interesting. I hope it can be identified. I haven’t seen much Bsnger speed equipment here in Illinois.
It’s the first time I’ve ever taken a transmission apart. It really wasn’t too difficult but I learned quite a bit. From my understanding if...
Checking in, Got the later gearset in the B box. It’ll be running soon. [ATTACH]
I haven’t seen a deal like this near me. If it was relatively close, I’d have to go look at it, even though I’m waiting for the right 30/31 Tudor...
Looks like an engineering masterpiece. Please share what we are looking at and what it’s going into. My guess is landspeed racing.
