KR Wilson HCCT
I picked up a KR Wilson hand crank coil tester at Hershey that I am trying to get operational again. It is in pretty nice shape except for the wiring which was deteriorated to the point of barely...

Re: V8 Camshaft Bolt Pattern
Very interesting. When you say move the bores “inward” 1/8”, do you mean inward along block length or inward of the “V”? Questioning because inward to the V will change pistonTDC to cam timing...

Re: New block
In the SCTA all "normal" engine classes are broken up by displacement only. You can build it from scratch if you would like, and some have. Only the few vintage classes require original production...

Re: New block
I'm not super familiar with flathead Cadillac but do they have more conventional smaller outside diameter valve guides?
In my opinion the main reason the Ford flathead had the large diameter guide...

Re: Flathead valves and flow??
I'd say you are right on track. On the 39-41 Mercury blocks the valve eyebrow cut is just that it intersects the stock 3.1875 bore on the drivers side. This creates a sharp corner which is more...

Re: Flathead valves and flow??
The 59A blocks have the same valve geometry as the 8BA blocks. It's the pre-WWII blocks that have the valves closer to the bores.

Re: 8BA or 59AB to power belly tank at Bonneville
"Period correct" and legal for Bonneville are two ends of the spectrum. You can be true to the 1950 time period for engine technology but to be legal for Bonneville today there will be no doubt your...
