Finished the balance work today. With the lighter pistons and extra weight taken off the throws when I ground them from 2 3/16" to 2" left some weight to come of the counter weights.

Instead of just drilling into the counterweights I cut them down. This should keep the "windage" down. I also filled in the existing holes from the factory balance.

Pretty happy with the results. For those that don't know the windows at the top of the screen represent the amount of weight that the crank is off at the front (left) or rear (right) in grams. the window below is the angle at which it is to be removed. I started with about 50 grams at both ends. factory balance is usually within 10 grams. I have seen some, engines from the 70s mostly, that are out as much as 25. I think this one will rev nicely.

The Tudor Sedan that My niece is standing in is mine, yes it will have a Y-Block in it and when more work is done there will be a thread here for it.  as for the "Coupe"  I think you mean the green pickup, Right?  That one belongs to the guy who owns this shop and it is what got us acquainted.  Someone installed a cam bearing incorrectly and he called me to fix it.

love your work !



"Came too close to dying to stop living now!"

Trying to get things ready for Elmo in May. Yesterday I did a little work on the engine, got it buttoned up on the bottom end. The heads are on the engine in the truck so I wont have them on till I pull the engine. That should be next weekend.



Also today I intalled the spool and 3.70 ratio, this will give 139 mph @ 6000 rpm, 151 @ 6500 and 163 @ 7000. That would give me a record at Elmo if I can pull 7k. We'll see.




Nothing but the best!

Your stuff looks great, as usual, Tim, except for those dollar store jack stands,,,,

They are not your typical split pipe jack stands, they are a lot heavier than they look.  I've had them for 30 years and they are not dollar store.
