I know it can vary a lot from shop to shop, but assuming you find a good shop, is there a reason to not have an original crank straightened and...
I saw the Burtz had landed. I had an interest in this aluminum block as well.
Have there been any further developments of this block?
This is looking absolutely fantastic!
Hello all. Not sure if I qualify to be here. But short of the story, my wife and I bought her grandfathers/uncles 29 A tudor they bought when they...
From what I've read, 40hp is stock. The OHV dynos usually put them in the 75hp range from what I've read. But yes, no launches in this old thing....
Thank you. It's a different beast and is closer in operation to my tractors than any of the older vehicles I've owned. My wife is excited about...
Yeah, I'm curious what he tried with the timing. I talked to him a few times about it, but he never talked much about the technical challenges. Of...
Haven't got it home yet. He had done a few "mods" if you will. They're doing a run on those Roof 101's later this year. I may buy one to set...
So, short of this story, my wife and I recently purchased her grandfathers and great uncles 29 A Tudor. It was restored in 94 (they had bought it...
Yeah. Trying to find a trailer. I don't know of any rollback that could handle it and get under powerlines. Maybe though. I'll have to ask around....
You should be able to click on the picks and zoom in. Once I get all the trash out I expect it will look a lot better. The front and the vents...
Yeah true. Napa has catalogs for some of the parts amazingly. Brakes, clutch and pressure plate don't seem to be an issue, though they aren't in...
Here's the full album. It was groovified in the 70s when converted. I'm afraid what might be under the cladding on the sides. They at least cut...
Nice bus! I'd love to find one like that (but a Dodge :D) though it looks like I'll be tackling an old transit bus. No where near as stylish.
Here in Indiana it's VERY difficult to get a title. You can do it, but it's not a sure thing and not easy. I've done it before, but definitely a...
No coast to coast trips for this thing that I can envision. The lake is about 15 miles away... that's about as far as I intend to regularly drive...
Not sure what it all looks like, other than it is mechanical. I'd hate to cut it up. I do intend to use it, mainly as a place for my kids to...
Yes, that was my grandfather and great uncle's B. First tractor I ever drove. Bought it and his COOP E3 off my grandmother to restore. Believe it...
It is cast as part of the gearbox and not removable. It is possible that an industrial supplier may have a 90 degree box that could handle 200ish...
According the the internet, it weighs in at 10,600. If I can do 55-60, I'll be plenty happy. It says low gear is 407 (presumably 4.07) to 1 on the...
Thanks for the forum link! I wasn't aware of that about the pistons. But, I imagine many companies built their truck engines tougher. I know...
Here is a crude illustration. the 90 degree is after. I had read that it may be helical cut, but you be right :D After it passes through the...
The 352 came out of a 1 ton dump truck, so I was thinking it'd be a good candidate for this. Good information. I've never worked with flatheads,...
[IMG] You can see how the motor is slipped in from the side. (just in case anyone is wondering, no the boom is not resting on the bus). I'll see...
It does look pretty shiny. If it's chrome, like 31vicky says nothing will stick. That being said, another trick I have used is to "paint" what I...
Do you know of a tranny with a 90 degree output shaft? This motor is installed transverse (west-east instead of north-south). I've looked, but not...
Fantastic! Thank you!
Not really a normal question, but figured that here may be a good place to start. So, I've found an old ford transit but. No motor though. It had...
Hello all. I've visited these pages many times over the years, but considering a project and thought I'd actually join. I've always got one...
