At present I'm trying t build a street engine that will have adequate power, good fuel economy , at a reasonable cost. Unfortunately, the engine is not acceptable in most places because it has no "speed equipment" or fancy "stuff? amd looks like a stock engine,
Actually, it really is quite stock. I've eliminated all the stuff that can cause trouble away from home. like fuel pump, generator, early water pups and fan./ Engine should produce 20/30 ft/lbs of torqur between 2/3000 rpm, 20 + MPG and cost aprox 3K$. Run 50 75K miles before rebuild with proper maintained. Another problem, finding all the right stock parts needed.. All you need is parts that have a long life. the only mod id highr compression, and that's not as easy as you think!!! Gramps. What do you thing the stock compressiom of a flathead is???? Gramps |

Hey, don't think you fellas in the U.S. have a monopoly on these sort of A holes they are everywhere in every vocation just out to fleece you with minimal effort on their part.
It is amazing the skills you can master with time and effort and do your own thing ( limitations apply ) probably why it took me 30 years to build my own home, anyway I have now had to cancel my on line ``brain surgery `course to devote time to my flathead project. |
