Think that flat six is ok.What I don't really cotton onto is that every day fan belt doing all those directional changes while driving things. I know...VW's had one single belt doing the same job...but,all in one plane.
Skirts! I'm wondering...what drove the rodding/power thing,the beginning, in the late 40's/early 50's. Was it young blokes back from the war with experience of unheard of power in fighter planes,bombers/tanks/all wheel drive and tracked vehicles etc.? Just on a high from victory? Then back to civvie street..and....what. Over to any that may have an insight. Cheers,Rob.
