Good luck with the upgrade @Ryan - and thank you!

I've got both unassembled in my garage right now. :( I will let you know once my occupation starts giving me some time back.

Might be worth posting on the HAMB - huge amount of historical context over there. ...and I think they'd love to help.

I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance - but damn that's worth fighting for! Wishing you luck.

No need to edit the poll. Let's just do it here - we're a small group. I'll start. :) Reprint please!

SanDiegoSteve - where are you at in San Diego? I hope to start building my block in June or so...have you built one? Any other San Diego folks starting a build? (just joined the group - thanks!)

Hopefully no one has a coronary over this - just having some fun during a very busy workday full of meetings... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_2x9KqXCfU

Right on!

I have a Burtz block in my garage. The unbuilt engine is gathering dust as we speak, exactly as planned. I had, nor have, any immediate intention of building it. So why did I buy it? Because I could see that most people in this world don't have the desire, intelligence, persistence, or...

Interesting thread and honestly difficult to consider. The implications here are that the door may be closing on our cars, or that it has closed. I do appreciate the comparison to motorcycles, but then again I've lost two loved ones to motorcycles. For me it comes down to using the A where it...

I just bought an Optima Red Top hold down from Bratton's - received notice of shipment ridiculously fast and had the part two days later. I think this is the fastest any A specialty shop has ever gotten me anything.

Double clutching is quite a work out! Too bad it's only one leg.

I had heard about these incidents but assumed they were few and far between. Based on the small sampling we have here, this is NOT uncommon. Very useful cautionary advice. Not just for our own cars but for the countless times we've stood over someone else's while the engine was revved.

@Pantodd74 Just do a password recovery and get logged back in on the HAMB. From the description as a "60's survivor" I don't think it's a rat rod, so you don't need to call it that. It's a '28 on '32 frame which is a very legitimate approach for a real hot rod. Assuming it's not covered in...

Thank you Dave - this is very helpful. Do you have an idea of how much horsepower you're making with the Serr + 97?
