We'll call this a hot rod engine

[Walt Dupont--Me.]

I built this in my spare time, probably 4-5 years, Chris put a pic on the barn of it when we first fire it up 2-4 weeks ago. 8BA block, 59ab guts, 276, Esky 400 cam, a mean engine for a round a round. Walt

Hey Walt that looks really nice. Also you give a whole new meaning to the term electric fan!

Mr. Dupont.

Those look like Pertronix headers. Did you blend those "Barn Doors" internally?

Question: Where is the generator?

Walt made an idler pulley out of an old generator. That's what's on it to tighten the belt.
