awesome!

 

About 11"..1/2" shy..

 

Does anyone have ch***is pics of a 33-34 with this engine set back? I would like to see how the frames were modified to mount engine/trans.

thanks

 

Here's a "mild" set back in my 41 truck

 

Mild set back on my Model A

 

The engine is set back as far as it will go in my Fiat Topolino. Not much room for my feet.

 

This one has been in my head since I first saw it in Hot Rod Magazine as a kid...

 

Setback is cool

I set my big block Olds as far back as it would go (around 4") in my 59 p/u.

I don't want to cut the firewall. At this point, I can barely remove the distributor, & I had to cut the valve covers.

Most of the engine is aft of the front axle, which was my goal. I also needed to drop it a few inches

BTW, an Olds 455 is big

 

I guess mine qualifies as set-back, as it's not technically a slingshot.

 

25% engine set back was allowed in M/SP the magneto came out through the cowl. Same car as in avatar.

Pat

 

That looks like the Blairs Speed Shop Chevy II.

 

Or Dale Armstrong's 10,000rpm Speed Eqpt car...?

 

Your right...Bovan's car had torsion bar front suspension...

 

I wanna build a car like that so bad it makes my teeth ache!

 

Mine is set back some

 

Here's a real vintage g***er with 327 set back a ways. If anyone has any information on this car I would sure like to here from them. Car is a 1928 Hupmobile currently running a hilborn injected 327 four speed and an olds reared.

 

That's an altered or comp coupe...that engine looks to be set back 20-25%...a Gas coupe or sedan was limited to 10%.

 

From the drag cars in motion thread.

 

Set back? Whats' an 'engine setback?

 

I didn't see this one already posted, so I had to add it. Bad ***!

 

Rick,
You and me both man. I have had this pick rolling around in my head for a very long time. beautiful can and interesting choice on exhaust routing. Definitely not the norm for the era.

 

Beautiful car... lol..Musta bin a hand burner to adjust the carbs...

 

Yea but easy to change the plugs.

hey I looked at your shoebox and just wanted to say something, You are one sick man Seb Fontana.

 

Yeah, I guess I am...Thanks ******, means a lot from you..
