Whats your favorite piece of speed equipment you own?

Had the Hull Bantam for a while, and also hads other projects, so sold it to Red. Came with alot of Hull's midget stuff, and I traded the late Mike Hart for the last of the manifolds that I had, ( a seperate story in itself), I know Ronnie ended up with Mike's stuff, probably that was where at least one of the manifolds went, Out of a total of six. (Have another, unfinished one that is totally different.) Last one I know of changing hands went for around $700, imagine if Harry had gotten the ink he deserved, what it would go for...Red sold the Bantam to a guy who was talking about changing the 12" wheels etc. Hope he didn't wreck it...

 

I'm a lowrider - we cruize slow....

Franklin quick change

 

Seems like a few people have these, but it's a pretty rare Nailhead speed part to me that I just picked up for a pretty sweet price I think. I have a Offy 2x4 intake on the 264 in my '54 Buick also.

 

Owned ,,was never gonna have a studebaker so..

 

My Harper 3x2 intake with three 97s for a flathead 6 Mopar. This intake is unique because each carb feeds 2 cylinders. The 97s are progressive. The ****erflies in each carb have been split and the carbs run like single barrels until you go full throttle!!

 

A Barker twin Wico magneto ignition with a mechanical tach drive for flat head Fords.

 

I would have to agree with Moriarity.My favorite stuff is Cragar Blower parts.And Moriarity has my MEGA CYCLE!

 

Rare repro (one of only 22 made) of the '63 421 Super Duty 'bathtub' tunnel ram intake that Pontiac issued for use on the 13:1 compression 410 HP 421 engines.



I'm running a pair of '66 GTO 575 cfm Carter AFBs with my own progressive linkage and fuel lines, I used a few parts from a factory Tri-Power linkage. I can't afford the pricey 750 cfm NASCAR AFBs that were originally used with this intake.

 

My Riley Four Port.

 

draggin'GTO (bman??), sorry, but you need to let me run that on my '62 GP.

I think my fave is my Duerst & Chalmers 1962 reissue (of the Childs and Albert, I think) cast-aluminum two-piece bell-housing for Pontiacs.

 

6x2

 

b-man here.

Matt, we definitely need to see pics of that there 2-piece bellhousing deal.

 

My "OLD BRAIN"

 

What factory Fuel injection? Tell us more..

 

Cool thread... Here's mine...

 

It used to be the Weiand heads I got of Thunderbirdesqu or the Nicson 235 intake but now I'd have to say my Original Old Polished Edelbrock 6x2 intake with 94's on top. I like it mostly because of the old linkage that came it with. It's just a really cool piece.

I also like the 5" Curved Gl*** Script SW tach gauge that my wife bought me for Christmas last year. It'll go in the '33.

 

My lightened flywheel.

 

Edelbrock 6x2 intake for my Lincoln 430, plus brand spankin' new Moon finned aluminum valve covers for same.

 

This is gonna sound weird, but a set of re-capped cheater slicks I've had for 40 yrs. They were on a friends 61 ford stocker almost 50 yrs ago. CO-OP country squire carc***es. they are on my 55 chevy now. And I have a lot of other stuff. They just take me back.

 

Kind of fond of my BBC Edelbrock 6X2 cross ram.

 

1963 289cid 271 HP complete motor out of a real '63 "K" model Fairlane Sports Coupe. Now I wish that I would have smart enough to have kept the rest of the car that it came out of 30 years ago! Rats!!!!

 

Available in '57-'58. Based on the Chevy fuel injection design, but many of the parts were Pontiac only.

 

Here's a rare piece. Smokey Ram intake by Edelbrock. From the late 60's TransAm days.

 

Would be my beehive oil filter on my 1936 ford truck...Big Bad John

 

The very rare Robert Roof (R&R) intake on my "Super B" would have to be mine. Great idea for a thread!

Maybe not that vintage but it is an odd piece and it is my favorite! I have always loved finned aluminum engine parts and had several Cal Custom oil pans on cars but no one makes one for a BBC or so I thought, then I found this Mercury Marine finned aluminum BBC 502 oil pan, it was black wrinkle powdercoated when I got it but it will soon be polished! And the bonus is it came off a 502 stroker so it is already clearanced for a stroker and every other pan bolt hole is missing for extra rod clearance, and it has several cast in baffles and looks to be a 8 quart capacity. It will look great on the nose high g***er "Wildthing" just above the drilled I beam axle!

 

I have a Hilborn Flathead injectors #136 which is the the 37th unit sold by hilborn.

 

Maybe not too rare, but I kinda like the Offy dual carb intake I got for my '56 International...gonna be fun when I've got it converted to 4wd.

Also like the Vertex mag, Hilborn Injectors, NOS Isky 505 Roller Cam and Rockers (matching) I've managed to collect for my 430 MEL
