I have also bought from Allen's Fasteners for ARP head studs. Just one or two sometimes to complete a project.

Oh, and the pistons, crank and rods were all used stuff from our Bonneville car.

I had talked to the guys that run the Thompson Door Car at Bonneville and they were running a supercharged flathead that was running 195mph in a modified roadster, so I figured they knew what they were doing, and they said they ran a small bore to keep the wall thickness up. Latter I purchased...

I did miss third on one run at test n tune!

Hi Dale, 3.268 bore x 4.25 stroke, Ross pistons, Schneider .425 lift cam, Offy heads, Kong intake with two Holley 4412's mounted sideways. T5 transmission with .79 5th gear and 4.88 gear.

we are getting ready for an event called the No Name Nationals in Sikeston, Mo. in Sept. So we have been going to test n tune a few weekends in a row now. It's down to 8.76 in the 1/8 mile. Also have a new 360 degree camera that I have just started to play with. If anyone is so inclined please...

I am in the process of assembling a 8BA engine and when I tried to removed the front oil galley plug I couldn't get it out. No big deal, I'll get it out later. So I start to pressure wash the block and low and behold there is a small hole (.06 or so) in the plug. Would this be there to oil the...

I am in the middle of relocating the turbo to the center forward and moving our water container to the rear of the car. In this car the headers just seemed to work better exiting in the front. It's a race car so I don't have to worry about mufflers and such.

we used pieces of the Speedway kit to mount a C4 automatic to a flathead to adapt a Lakewood blow proof to our engine. The bellhousig mounted straight to the adapter and I used the center section from the flexplate adapter to convert to a SFI rated 302 sbf neutral balance flywheel. In our car (a...

hi guys, a couple of months ago myself and a friend went up to St. Louis to buy a truck load of parts from Harry Stirnemann. Harry and his now deceased brother Jack have built some killer cars over the years. Harry's still at it, but he thought it might be a good time to get rid of some of their...

Ken Henry, do you use the mega squirt to control spark also?

is that crank triggered ignition also?

Didn't think of water, doesn't have the normal pitting.The block has other issues like multiple heli-coiled head bolts holes.

oops, no pic.......hmmm

went check out a couple of engine blocks a high school buddy acquire for a project and was wondering what may have caused this damage to the valve seats. Looks about .050 to .060 deep and affected some intakes and some exhausts
