The engine for the 550 build arrived this week, built by Vic Skirmants. I find myself just staring.

Nice!
He built 2 of the 1750's for 356 projects I had years ago. Something around 110hp I think? Super solid and drivable power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Check out Patrick Motorsports web page or Instagram. He rebuilt a couple of these engines and has some nice video’s of them running. They sound amazing.

QUOTE(krazykonrad @ Apr 19 2022, 08:13 AM)  Is that a twin cam? Nope, but does have the tach cable still on. Most I've seen have been capped off and converted to elect tachs. |

Most I've seen have been capped off and converted to elect tachs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I have gone full flow on my engine and need to find a good 6v electric tach. Sucks because there's a nice price effective 12v one from Sierra Madre, just don't know if 6v-to-12v converter like I have on the old stereo I plan on replacing (with a stock 6v Blaupunkt) will work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
