If I hadn't found a real nice 4100 core I would be running one of these for sure. Great design and very efficient.
After reading this entire thread I still can't believe the amazing lengths we go to to go fast on water... One boat that is still etched on my...
Spokane has at least a couple guys that can handle it. Check out the engine in the "Take out T" I think fellow HAMBer "Chris" dad Dave Swenson)...
You might want to diagnose the cause of the backfire too, and lose that glass fuel filter. They are the cause of more serious engine fires!
My '63. 390 and C6 combo, Volare clip, and flipped rear axle.
Clip from a Diplomat (moved the center-line 1" forward) flipped the rear over the springs, dropped in a 390, and a complete rewire. Now I'll run...
Started this 1963 Unibody a year ago with time out for winter. ready to go places now!
Vacuum advance can? Also, how stable is the plate the points attach to?
The pinstripe race is the beginning of "Dad Can I Borrow the Car" from Disney. Early '70's live action and animation. One of many that might...
Earl Wham would be a good candidate for the list. Raced cars and boats, up to unlimited Hydro's, and is also the engine builder for Ed Snevas...
I swapped the "smaller" 472 into my '70 3/4 ton Chevy. It would honestly bark the tires at 35MPH. The sweet part is that most swaps into GM's with...
2 different tooth counts on flywheels are possible also, and there are different balance factors on the early vs. late 302's too. Do some...
Too bad you're so far away, I'm getting ready to cut the front of my '36 Olds frame. It looks new! Completely cleaned and painted with some new...
I would bet crap in the tank. Been this same route with my own Chevy truck. Clean tank and new fuel pickup cured problem.
Put a 472 in my '70 3/4 ton. Sucker would pull a house. Scaled one time at 9500lbs. full of crap. Used TH400 trans from Cad, Eldorado pan, and...
I remember a few years ago doing some site work in a mobile home park that was in the flight path for our smaller airfield. A couple times a year...
Had exactly the same problem with my Chevy truck. Turned out that the "sock" on the fuel filter had disintegrated to a mess. It would collapse and...
My 1963 F100 unibody has 16" wheels, 3 with the "bumps" on the inside, and 1 like those pictured. I kinda like the older style (bumps inside)...

Sometimes there's so much acreage to cover... It's just beggin' for it.
Definitely use some sort of high zinc content oil. I have seen too many flattened cam lobes in the last couple years. Use it for break-in, and...
The later (early '80's) 425 cars had the same chassis as the Caprice. If you find the mounts off of the 425 they'll allow you to drop the 500...
I had a 351C in an '81 Capri. T5, 3:73 gears, and .555/.570 lift on the cam. Used a few of the hp tricks and forged pistons, with mostly stock...
Had a '69 series 75 Limo. The "Family car" once used by the Funeral Home. 9 pasenger limo is hard to park! 22 feet long, 6900 Lbs, 472 with plenty...
Marine cams are not that "lopey", and usually have almost no overlap... That exhaust/water thing can be pretty bad if you suck some up. 4.3 also...
