Wow this is an engine.
I live at the top of a three mile grade which meant 35mph. I just fired an H&H motor that I modified further. I stayed with the 5.5 Snyder head, replaced the "touring" cam with a HP350 cam from Bill Stipe, a Dan4Banger 27 lb flywheel, 2-94's on a "Riley" manifold and a set of Headers, both from Reds. Now it was just lit and I brought it up the grade, without full throttle even, at 55 mph. Wow! Time to get to work on the steering and definately the brakes.

Re: Wow this is an engine.
You cannot say anything bad about a guy with a banger motor.I'm running a 6.0 head, bored .80 over, B cam, lightened flywheel,electronic ignition and a tilly carb.Drags around my tudor body quite well.Enjoy your added power Milton.

Great job/work ! Enjoy fruits of your labor! Can you tell us about how the 27 lb flywheel affects your starting, from stop? Some have told me, in the past, that this isn't good...for variety of reasons, "except for racing" . BTW, is that Dans aluminum flywheel? |
