Progress has been slow as I hurt my back, but its getting better and I got out and took more measurements to model the scale of the main parts. I...
^^^ What Marty said ^^^ The one I just took apart was slip fit to the crankshaft. Once I got the bolt out I slid it off by hand, but it wasn't...
Thanks Aaron! I have that book on order. For reference, you can buy an electronic copy (comes with other stuff too) from roadrunner engineering...
Just to clarify the blower questions. Here is the chart I used to select the blower:...
I'm making wild guesses at stock port flow on my 8ba, till I can build an adapter for the flow bench. If anyone has actual numbers, I'd...
Playing with this model some. I like the look of the low profile setup. I need to model the rest of the car. [IMG]
He's got some great looking machines there!
Got a couple new core engines (59ab) this weekend. Received the blower, alcohol pump, some heads and started designing a crank hub adapter for a...
Decided to try a blower so I ordered one. Got a 6v53 after seeing H&H's Lincoln V12 setup:...
Here's a fun project to build at home "for the kids" ;) [MEDIA] This isn't mine, just on a channel I watch. Thought it would be fun to share....
Great info dreracecar! I really like the clean look of the solid front better, but would totally put a sprung front end on if it helped in some...
Back to the engine question. I just talked to nhra tech guy and it sounds like a supercharger would fit in my plans just fine. N/A stroker or...
Ok, gotcha. I do appreciate the input! The chassis was cheaper than buying the tube.
That's a nice looking car too. Triangulated bottom links on the torsion front. I like the cam driven fuel pump. Any reason not to on a...
I've got questions too. What do you guys think about sprung vs. hard nose on a FED? Engine wise it looks like I could go bored, stroked, ported...
Completely agree here except I'm not looking for top performance. Right on the money but 10 flat is too close to 9 something on the nice cold,...
This is what I'd been planning to do for a long time. I have 4 of them in my shop atm, and have read a ton of your stuff Frenchtown. I...
I'd like to but I'm still waiting for my registration to be approved over there. I can't see any of the attachments or pics. Doing lots of...
Totally agree on the less expensive engine. There is no way I want to run 7's especially in a short wheel base car. 11s is fine, 10s would be...
My bad, I was going from memory. This was an S&W F/C chassis. Never completed when I purchased it. Here is a link:...
You run the car in your Avatar? I might have to come watch you run around the track!
Maybe I've been too hasty about a supercharger? I've never built a supercharged engine, only turbocharged on the street. I was thinking the...
Hey guys, I felt that this engine project thread had gotten pretty far off track with all the crack jokes so I started a new project thread...
porknbeaner - thanks for your honesty and re-aligning my expectations. In 2010 you suggested 300hp was possible for a street flathead, what's...
Here are some pictures to get started. I've built a few engines, but never a flattie (other than briggs ;), and am fair at welding/fab. Is this...
The story: I was first exposed to drag racing in high school as part of the auto shop program. We raced an early 80's sunbird with a mild SBC,...
Main goal: 10 or 11 second car that can be run at nostalgia and et events. No crew required. A clean, simple, basic car. Based on my experience...
I should probably say that I'm not too interested in forced induction on this project and I like injected alcohol. If there is a really good...
Nice. You guys crack me up. It sounds to me like this engine would be a good candidate for an epoxy 1/2 or 3/4 fill. Then I can put it in my...
I'd never seen these before Latham Supercharger: [IMG]
