Hot Rods The Ultimate Willys Gasser Thread

That’s Jack Coonrod’s with the windshield laid back.

 

Built by Greg Fleury!

 

Is there a Gas car that Chuck Finders wasn't involved in?

 

He gave me lots of technical tips and tricks when I was building my '33.
Also, a Model 77 hood ornament he had cast in bronze, on the front of my grill.
RIP Chuck.

Any ideas on what kind of engine that is with what looks like an OHC crossflow headed six?

Also, look at that crowd!

 

I think the article said it was something out of a jeep. I found it quite unusual they were running it on an oval track.

 

By that clue provided by @40ragtopdown I thought of the Hurricane engine in Jeeps of the ‘50’s but that wasn’t right.
The replacement for the Hurricane was the Tornado seen here.

 

I thought it looked like a Pontiac IHC 6.

 

See if this helps any.

 

nope
Pontiac OHC was not a crossflow design. Also, it was a single OHC with a skinnier valve cover.
