Whats your favorite piece of speed equipment you own?

Which one had two sons? John or Horace? There were two Mr. Dodge's that founded Dodge, hence the original name "Dodge Brothers."

I'm not trying to give you hard time, I'm just playin. You need any 60 Buick pieces? I got a complete (almost) and rust-free 60 LeSabre 4dr sedan that needs to either be relieved of a bunch of parts or find a new home. Barebones one-owner car, never even had a radio in it (still has the original block-off)

Just thought I'd offer. I robbed the 364 and tranny, along with the front brake goodies. Everything else is there.

 

Are you kidding, it was a Mermaid with wings. Thats like hooking up Nitros, hahaha.

 

I'm very fond of the Pm7 and Earls old heads.
.... but my fav may be the cam
I've put in a 272 Smith cam.

Clay did the grinding and Karl Orr tested the cams in his deuce in the 40's. When they where done after about 25 testruns/cams. The 272 was one of four profiles they kept. A design tried out in the day and still awailable.

Bet the guys could change a cam blindfolded by then.
I love this kind of pioneer history.

wonder if I gain speed by turning the BLC's 180 degrees???

I guess this is my favorite... but it's the only rare speed equipment I have Its a Thickstun DM-7 and the carbs are 81's.

I have a McGirk six deuce intake for a small block chevy. The thing is in as new condition.

 

i have trouble choosing, but i thinks its my 6 chrome strombergs and 6 cal custom scoops that are gonna go on an drag star nailhead 6x2 intake.

I just realized that I actually have some speed equipment that I'm pretty pleased with. First out is my Stromberg 22.2 made in France. It's pretty much a Stromberg 81 and I belive it's from a Ford Vedette. Then there is the waterpump I'll be using om my 4-banger. Its a Opel pump so I guess it's totally wrong to call it speed equipment , but it's cool.

Then to be a bit silly (and use even more space on this server) I must add a pic of the things that I'll use when speeding. A bomber cloth helmet to protect my head and a right foot to press the fun pedal.

 

my magnesium wheels.....doesn't matter if they are big windows....small windows...no windows....5 spokes ...12 spokes....sprints...speedways ....torq thrust.....i just dig magnesium wheels.....i don't like to get rid of them ...and always seem to sell my junk with out them....they seem to hold down the shelves from floating away......haha brandon

 

I guess mine is my 18" Halibrand Indy Car Wheel that feel off of A.J. Foyt's car in the 1962 500 in between turns 1 and 2

 

Mine would be my Harman & Collins magneto for a flathead Ford. Some guy had it at a yard sale for $2.00, I got it half off! Best of all, it works. Next would be my 16"x6" Halibrand magnesium smoothies. Got them from an old racer who used them at Bonneville. They are drilled for Moon discs and even have the original Goodyear tires on them. Last would be my Edelbrock 6x2 SBC manifold. Came complete with carbs and linkage. I'm thinking of selling the wheels and SBC manifold, but you never know.

 

Jack Henry modified 48 Strombergs. These dual 48's actually outflow 3 97 Strombergs that have chokes.

 

Its a little O/T for the HAMB but MY FAVORITE would definitely be my Air Research Turbocharger KIT made for ACCEL in the 80's for a small block chevy that draws air and fuel through the turbo.

 

2 NOS Kendig carburetors in the box with stickers no less

 

I like this..........

 

Sharp aluminum head on the Dodge flat 6 in my '46 Plymouth, I've only ever seen one other one (recently for sale on the HAMB). I've been looking for a Sharp intake to match, 'missed one on e-pay about 2 years ago, the only one I've ever seen.

 

judson supercharger for my sons VW

 

I have a SCOT blower and a 331 tri power hemi..




Just got the blower last week off ebay...

 

My B&M Hydro w/Hurst HydroGate shifter set up for chevy. Going in my 55 Chev........Wow this is an old thread!!!

 

My brain..

 

My Chrysler 354 Poly engine.

 

I don't have anything real cool like S.C.O.T. souper chargers or the Kindigs.
New-HAMB unfriendly -the turbocharger on my Mazdaspeed 3
something I don't have any more - the hollow letter "Cobra" valve covers on my GT350H
Can't think of anything on my Mercury.
Newest- My 401 Buick waiting for a rod to be built around it.

 

The Harry Hull parts on my Sixty display motor,Harry Hull was a well known midget racer from our area who, like so many others, never got famous because most of the ink was on the west coast.

 

6x2 Dragstar intake for a poncho... I have it in an old file cabinet...I'll open up the drawer and stare at it sometimes....I know....I'm a sick

 

WOW!!! I wonder how many people still have the stuff they posted back in 2002. If they do it's more rare today than back then, worth more to.

My wife and I are over the road truck drivers, several years ago, 2 days before my birthday, we stopped at Pony Carbs, Las Cruses, Nm to look around. When we were ready to leave my Wife gets out her credit card and these trip duces goes into the side3 box of the truck. A month later they were on the Merc.

 

Eddie Meyer V8-60 intakes, Offy and early Edelbrock heads. Not exactly rare ...

 

Some of the rare and one off stuff you guys have is pretty amazing.

 

I've got a Gotha 6x2 intake for a 303-324-371 Olds.

 

Is that HULL intake the same one Ronnie Roadster had? There was a HULL built Bantam Roadster with a lot of Midget Race Car engineering in it that Red McCormick had years ago. Last time I saw it was at the Stafford Springs Swap Meet. It derserved a good home and restoration.

 

This might be a little off the beat. I have a (New) unused Greatful Dead mountain bike from 1995. It is signed by the builder Gary Fisher. I understand it is the only signed bike there is. The spine and bone graphics in the paint are pretty cool. Last value was $5,000
