Scorpion 1 needs a piston

I ***ume you've tried Terill machine in DeLeon? I can check some other places on Tuesday, that we've used in the past.

 

Micky:
I didn't burn it I over reved it and droped a valve. the piston fell in two when Charles pulled it out.
thanks Don Ross

Hey Don, Terrill Machine is at 1000 CR454,De Leon,TX. 76444
phone 254-893-2610
I have bought a lot of NOS Early Olds Rocket engine parts there.
There's a better than even chance they would have a .040 NOS
392 piston. They ship everyday.

Group:
Thanks every one for the offers of help for the Scorpion 1. I have found a supplier and ordered a piston, rings, main bearings and a sleeve. Now if all that comes into alignment all will be kool.
I hope to see many of you at Bowling Green.
Thanks Don Ross

 

AWESOME! I'm so happy as I was worried I wasn't going to see you guys....and you wouldn't see me wearing my new Scorpion V 1964 AHRA National Champion t-shirt.....and of course my red Don Ross one. xoxox

 

Don,
I hate to hear this....pulling up next to the Scorpion 1 was "THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT" of running the little Flathead Dragster.....just seeing the 2 old timey cars go thru the burnouts was sooo much cooler that seeing that car "just cackleing and acting". The win was anti-clamatic.....the scene at the starting line was "the show"......

Dang....I had a "plan" for some "close racing action" between the both of us....

Like I have told you already, having just the chance to pull up by that fabulous piece of history was a special privilage, and I thank you for that opportunity....but I'm not giving up on you, yet.

 

Well, we got a new KB piston and some bearings. Charles sleeved the block and we fired it up Sunday. Its in the Scorpion V's trailor and we are leaving Dallas around 5:00 PM wed.

I will have some torsion bar ***embleys and steering boxes there for sale. Also I will have some "QuicKill" engine shut down kits with me. Be sure to see the "Saftey Slider" drive line disconect on display.
See you there Don Ross

 

Cool. Glad you got this taken care of. I'm glad to see this group is willin to throw pistons at SOMEBODY at least.
