Re-restoration in progress for some vintage racing

Let's take another stab at this sucker. Sometime in August I'll tear it all back down and find why it's blowing water out of the pipes. I suspect the intake is not aligned to the heads. That happened when I was the sickest and was not able to help my friend. The tranny is dry thank goodness, but there is a small pan leak.View attachment 30236 View attachment 30237 View attachment 30238 View attachment 30239

You sure where not wasting any time. I thought you had a machine shop build the engine?

No machine shop. My buddy in Kansas ended up doing 90% of the work while I was getting drugs. It sucked not being there doing the work. Usually we work together and I always learn stuff from him. Known him for 22 yrs. He's 81 now!
 
steve_history.jpg Markie Mark, if you wait until this fall, I can come 'assist you'.

It would be fun for the both of us to make something 'special' up so you can get your tail back on the track I may even be able to join you and create even more havoc!

I worked with a gent who's last name was Reddy. When I joked with him, he said "I was born Ready"

I nearly fell out of my chair...
 
Maybe he just pushes the envelope a bit and runs these engines beyond their designed intent?

Na, this is Mark....

Lol

Bearings are a-okay! Intake is bottoming out to the block. Getting machined down as I type. Simple fix that got overlooked.
