I had seen videos on pouring the babbitt but never anything on machining it. Thanks.

Nice video. Pouring Babbitt is such a lost art, but I don't see why. It seems fairly simple as long as you pay attention to what you're doing.

That old dude in Worlds Fastest Indian poured all of his own junk…. On another but similar path I saw this guy recently welding up the outside of his old HD Evolution engine to make it water cooled. Built the jackets out of the air cooling fins by covering with sheet metal… neato! I like this BTW…

Burt Munroe was also making his own pistons, what was his recipe 2 Holden and one Ford and then screw pressure to set them. It's fun making metal molten and then to shape. I'm making some jacks at my local foundry and wish they would let me use their equipment so I could do it myself.

Them Krazy Kiwis and their lack of resources, they don't need no Jegs or Summit! Kinda cool what you can do in your garage and what you can make with your own two hands.

They say they're resourceful since they live on an island, I think it's got a lot to do with being cheap pricks..............

Very cool. I have to ask, how is the rear engine mount attached? There is not a lot of room back there, looks like I still saw a stock mount, but could not see where it mounted on engine. Custom made bracket under blower pulley???

Oops... I just remembered that it's not a stock distributor, so I guess the vacuum advance question is moot. I've never had anything with a blower on it, so I'm pretty ignorant of how it affects carb settings, advance, etc.
@dilligras12 жыл бұрын
That is totally sweet! It looked like there was no shrouding around the motor. How do you cool it, or do you only run it for short periods? My '62 sedan that I'm rebuilding has a 164 with one of the Judson blowers on it, and the last owner hooked it up to a Weber 44 IDF carb. It had push rod problems when I got it, so I don't know yet what it will do when it's running properly. How much boost do you get and are you using a stock vacuum advance or one from a turbo? Love the paint job, too.
