Damn, I've FUBAR'ed one before, but not to that level of FUBARdom.

12/1/2005 11:45:31 AM

I don't see anything wrong.

I think it can be welded back.

12/1/2005 11:46:52 AM

I'm gonna say that wrist pin just floating around in the 3rd cyl without a piston on top is gonna hurt compression

12/1/2005 11:47:41 AM

slap some new bearings in it and let it roll, and change the damn oil next time

12/1/2005 11:49:19 AM

what's wrong in these pictures?

12/1/2005 11:50:30 AM

looks like all the parts are still there

12/1/2005 11:50:51 AM

HOLY SHIT-BALLS!! That sucks man, is this yours or something you're working on, or just something online you found that some other poor soul is dealing with?

12/1/2005 12:40:18 PM

This is my favorite pic from that thread:

That is what will happen if you let anyone off the wolf web work on your car.

12/1/2005 1:25:49 PM

you just need to put a little slick50 in there

12/1/2005 2:27:41 PM

^
Wheres the fuel comming from and hows it getting into the chambers? And the man made air intake?

In the initial pics.. how long does it take you to figure out something isnt right with your engine? Jeez looks like something gave and the driver thought...oh must have just hit a pot hole and.. toodleloo dippidi doo da...

12/1/2005 2:28:20 PM

In that last pic.. is the guy running the entire fuel/air system in the reverse direction?

12/1/2005 2:29:42 PM

holy fuckin shitballs

12/1/2005 2:38:26 PM

yeah that is a reverse flow induction on there, Ive talked to the guy who built it several times on hot rods message boards. He's a cool guy and smart as hell to.

He is also the guy who came up with the Variable engine timing that honda uses. He came up with that back in the sixties, but somehow he lost the copyright on it, and HOnda got it, and made shit tons

Ill see if i can find his website

Detonation is a nasty thing.

12/1/2005 2:40:23 PM

that'll buff right out

12/1/2005 2:43:17 PM

^^that's what it looks like. But that wouldn't be too hard, would it? Just change the chain that drives the cams to be off 180 degrees or so.

12/1/2005 2:43:32 PM

not sure if this is correct, but it is what i could find.

Quote :

"If I understand what is being said, the engine runs in reverse rotation (normally, it'd turn clockwise while looking at it from the front. This one would now run counterclockwise) and obviously the exhaust ports are now intake ports, and vice-versa. These same tricks used to be done to flatties on oval and round tracks. Flatties have 3 exhaust ports per side, and four intake ports. Racers found that the siamesed exhaust ports worked fine as intake ports, and having 4 exhaust ports per side helped the engine breathe immensely. Spinning it in the opposite direction loaded the chassis to add grip in the corners, rather than the clockwise direction's knack of turning the chassis "away" from the turn. If I remember right, Edelbrock's roadster had the reverse rotation trick before anyone else, due to the intelligence of Bobby Meeks. Old Vic also ran nitro before anyone else. Lots of trickery beyond his intakes and heads... "

See the two black lines coming out of the firewall on opposite sides, each going to a corresponding set of intakes. I'm guessing that's fuel, but I don't know anything about that particular set up.

i still have a username on probetalk

12/1/2005 3:30:31 PM

^^ i think he asked before he realized the intake/exhaust manifold locations are switched around..

12/1/2005 3:44:30 PM

The only thing I see wrong in the first pic is that you probably don't want to leave that screw driver sitting there when you puts the heads back on, it might rattle or something.

haha, no it doesn't work like that. You move the cam timing 180 degrees and you are right back where you started from. beethead said reverse rotation, which makes sense and would work. Oh, and only one cam in that engine . One thing I'm not sure of is valve sizing. The exhaust is normally smaller than the intake valve, which in this case would make the intake valve smaller than the exhaust valve....

12/1/2005 4:37:30 PM

i think the guy had to get a cam made up with the lobes in opposite locations, and he had to do something to the heads

The carbs are from old honda motorcycles, and there is NO fuel pump

and yes that is a magneto

12/1/2005 4:44:36 PM

duct tape and you are good to go

12/1/2005 6:09:36 PM

v-attack niggas

12/1/2005 6:42:18 PM

12/2/2005 2:10:29 PM

If the guy is so freakin smart why'd he use an sbc which has heads where the exhaust valve/intake difference is HUGE.
