The you tube vid was of the old 288 that i biult the car with. The car now has a real mean 327.
The car colection was in Winnemuca I dont know how to spell it. The guy built a big museum and then had money troubles. the collection went to the Pertson museum and was sold off for about 1/10th of its puchase price. There was one car, a 1970 Chevelle? that was bought for 1.2 million when he was buying cars then sold at the Peterson auction for 240.000 There was lots of stuff there. A guy here in Salt Lake that bought both of Al Teagues land speed cars for 250.00 for the stream liner "SPirit of 76" and the Sad, Teague & Bently roadster for 110.000 They are in a private museum here in town. With the Mormon Meteor III Brian.

Hello every one. Thank you for all the kind words. I am happy to represent. The gears in the rear are 3.54 RP and #1 gear set for a final of 3.54
I cant believe they put it on the cover! Brian Thomas.

I have over 500 pictures I took while building this engine. Took about 6 months to complete and a lot of cash!!! I will post more as time allows. Been working on a Caddilac intake for a buddy.

What? I hope your not serious, thinking the valves would work in that position. I bored out all 16 vavle seats and after all the grinding and port work was done I pressed in the chrome nickel seats. The cam is not stock. Ed Isky a buddy of mine made the cam for me and added a bit od over lap to the profile to clean the cyls out. 120 degrees. Attach file: (113.29 KB)

I opted for this style of relieving. The roof in the head like mine or stock are more that sufficient to give the needed flow with out doing some wild relieving job. It just does not need it.

You can go alot. But it is not needed. I did relieve the first block but talked to a guy here in town that holds many unblown flat head records with a 260 inch ford, He found that relieving was not that inportant. I will show what I did instead of doing a deep relief cut.

Here is the 48 288 block I used in place of the 52 327 block. I like this block better than the later one it replaced. Much more sexy looking to me. and does not have all the later mounts cast in it. This 288 block was the engine I built the car around. it ran real good but burned a lot of oil. I kept Lucas oil in buisness for some time.
