    4.6 DOHC engine with Webers For Sale

    When were ANY carbed Mod motors made?? Unless you are referring to some FRPP crate engines, all the production Mod motors were injected. Do you have a link to any pics?, Is it a 2,3 or 4 valve? Since no production engine was carbed, the details are a little light.

    Flat crank V-12...

    Since 180 is FLAT, how is it a V12?? If it was 179,160 or any other degree less than 180, I'll go with the V designation...but really...isn't 180 degress basically a flat/pancake/boxer style engine? In this discussion, it seems that few grasp what a "flat crank" is. Any "flat crank"...

    Is this project OK to post?

    They were also used in some kind of combine sold in ethe U.S. A friend has gotten into custom mini tractors and has one he put in a large lawn tractor. They were also used in the original Mustang concept back in '62. A car I mentioned should be Fran's next build....maybe with a modern front...

    Cars that you owned that didn't make the grade.

    Not to put holes in your memory, but the Boss 302 went out of production, along with the Boss 429, in 1970.

    Cars that you owned that didn't make the grade.

    Actually it wasn't uncommon to run an MGB head on them. They were literally made off of MG blueprints. A common Japanese manufacturing practice at the time. I have a complete rebuilt 1800 MG-B engine with a 1200 Datsun head so it can run ethanol( probably close to 12-1 compression)in the shop I...

    Cars that you owned that didn't make the grade.

    I still have the vent windows( non opening) for a 2000 version I worked on. The guy got into some strange financial problem and disappeared. His girlfriend paid to have it towed to her garage..that was 20 years ago. If anyone needs such a thing..let me know. Pay for shipping and they're yours.

    I couldn't agree more, that hot/cold thing especially.

    A big Day August 6th

    Not sure about down under, but it sounds as if he's overqualified for a U.S. position.

    Cars that you owned that didn't make the grade.

    I too had to have an E type. It was '63 3.8, beautiful but highly flawed. I loved to drive it, but hated the constant attention it demanded. I bought the Brock Coupe because the lines evoked the same feelings as that E type...without the baggage. I also have a thing for British and Italian...

    How long have you owned a car?

    I keep things a long time. I still have the turntable and amp I bought in '73 and the 2 reel to reels I purchased in the AF prior to that. I own a 1965 Marusho that was my first demo bike in 1969( it was an unsold new bike), I owned my '69 428CJ Mach I from '72 until '92, I have a '70 Boss 302 I...

    The Shirley Sharrod Affair

    I would be surprised if a court would take the case. If so that would implicate EVERY news organization. All that is ever shown on ANY newscast is exerpts, so in order for ANY video to fully represent what is taking place then ALL of it would have to be shown. There isn't enough time, except...

    The Shirley Sharrod Affair

    It's not open dialogue that he would have approved of.. it is the ability to label someone/something with a negative image in order to discredit their argument. It is a form of PROPAGANDA, which addie was very fond of. No facts or dialogue just innuendo and character assasination. You are...

    The Shirley Sharrod Affair

    After reading all the posts "related" to the topic, I think, whoever he is, accomplished what he intended. It seems to me, that beyond all the teaparty name calling and other misplaced verbage a singular fact comes to the forefront. It is easier for someone to be discredited from conjecture and...

    Wanna know what I really love?

    I think in the current economic situation there are many getting fired for lame reasons when it is really a poor decision based on $$ they think they can save. I have several friends that have been with companies 10 years or longer and they are pivotal people in those businesses. It seems to me...

    Tax Increases

    I read the arguments, many seemed misguided or ill informed. If the GDP is false, which the economic downturn indicated it was, then anything based on it is without merit. There, as has been mentioned, NO declaration of WAR since WW2. They shirk their responsibilties under the guise of "The War...

    Gurney Weslake 351's?

    If your question is regarding whether the G-W heads would go on a 351 block, the answer is yes. The kits that were sold had spacers for the intake manifold to compensate for the difference in block height. I believe that all the kits included the spacer/adapters. The intake was dry and so the...

    Engine block shredder!

    You could put your eye out with that thing. Looks like a great way to recapture material from castings that fail QC.

    1964 Cheetah GT V8.....!!!

    I believe there were only 8-12 made. There were tons of bodies made by companies like Kellison and they were attached to all sorts of cars. I recall a few funny cars(60s era) that ran them. There was one of the more notable funny cars on E-bay a few years ago. It had been modified extensively...

    Climate change

    I suspect he has the Rock Hudson syndrome and Tipper was his beard. In the news it was reported that they have 3 mansions, Tennessee, Va and Ca. I guess that way they could move to where the climate was more tolerable...you can decide which climate.
