    well its been forever since I posted anything on here. Been a Super crazy late spring---- late summer. My work was out of control.. since that helps me pay for my junk I followed through. . I have not gotten much farther than a rolling chassis on my 34.. but I will try to have it running before the end of the year. God willing. . I did put together my dream engine for my A truck.. I have ran a pretty much stock merc flathead in it for about 7 years..

    I decided I needed something a little more. if I was going to keep the tradition alive in it..

    I put together a .060 over merc Crank Schnieder cam . New stainless valves.. Head made of bronze. All cc'd Its sounds soo killer. Just started it for the first time last night.

    I have an alexander intake on it.. will probably bend myself over and put on 2 new 97s. Since everything else looks soooo clean. . thats about all for not

    That's beutifull. Is there something (like clearcoat maybe?) on the heads to keep them shiny? Or is there something out there to minimize the time it takes to keep them shiny?

    Very cool heads, I want a set. I think bronze heads were made for marine use but not sure. Are those Federal-Mogal heads?

    I believe those are the same heads that are on the Bob McGee roadster, except these are 21 stud.

    Aaron, that motor is a thing of beauty, and the fuel induction.....well, you know what I think about that. Oh, by the way, did you get all the sticky smouges wiped out of your coupe after last months photo shoot?

    Hmm, wonder is the Bronze head would be prone to leakage after some miles got put on that engine?? Very nice setup though!!!!
     
  27. I wonder if Zoopseal works on bronze, sure works on aluminum.
