Yup it works like new
I like your way of thinking
My teeth would chatter too if I lined up with a two engine rail :eek:
I would think it best to cut the frame somewhere in the middle and leave the f&r suspension in place, alas well as the engine mounts. Also might...
I had to spray a coat of Dykem toolmakers blue layout dye to make some pieces. This is what I pulled out of the cabinet; (Don’t mind the drips)...
I’m your huckleberry. What are you looking to do?
Scary indeed. But if that’s all is needed for your HP/RPM range then you can probably shave 100 grams off your design.
One day at a time
Have you considered making it a one seater? That alone would streamline things quite a bit.
I’ve got a reasonably oversized garage and enough tooling to make quite a stir. I am in no particular hurry, still tinkering with the Ranchero....
Wow! That’s a purdy car
This one sat in a field for about 20 years before I decorated my yard with it. I think it wants to join in on the discussion. [ATTACH]
It makes sense to do it that way. Custom rod with improved matching piston, followed by newer tech rings. It might even shed some weight in the...
I figured it out and I’m really happy with it. However I got a nice package from McMaster Carr with all SS fittings so I’ll be duplicating this...
Same here, the later style. I believe the earlier version has a smaller main journal size anyway so I probably won’t build that one.
I’m your huckleberry. I’ve been following along with the hopes of this coming to fruition. I’m interested in discussing a connecting rod purchase...
I got the ‘photo too large’ response so I just edited the frame smaller. Kinda like an analog way of dealing with a digital problem, but it...
I once saved a man’s life with electric tape. Long story short I walked into work really late and as I walked in I spotted him slip and fall while...
Wow what a cool find, hopefully the new owner checks in here with some updates and intentions. I like the section job though I feel it would...
Rest in peace Mr Raschke. He died as he lived. I hope I can be so fortunate when my time comes.
Zyphstormer 12!

I’ve always been fond of the boat style windshield. Two pieces of flat glass and three heavily raked stanchions, flanked by a pair of wind...
Lol ok I’ll just keep lurking while your vision evolves. Are you rethinking the custom connecting rods / shortblock mods or just keeping the...
I’m not sure if this helps or hurts but I’ve always been a fan of the 1936 Auto Union Type C. Maybe add some fenders to this design and work from...
Wow!
Starting to look like a Lincoln Zephyr speedster, which I have never seen but could be interesting and a perfect match for the power plant.

Thank you for responding! I should be installing my mostly stock V12 sometime this winter, meanwhile plotting to build one of the cores I have...
Bump I know a good flatbed guy who can deliver this right to your doorstep.
