Motor maker

On vacation and utilizing my down time to work on this again. The valve covers didn't make it into my travel box.

Mock up of my block and the valve covers.

Think these will work?

My 25' Model T with Chevy 216.

That looks very legit!

Abandoned roadside hubcap cut up into surfboards. I just started working on them again.

Thanks Pat for the compliment but mine is slow going. Your motor is nothing to scoff at and has set a fairly high standard of detail to achieve.

80% completed? It is looking good! I especially like the front of your motor and hate the fact it'll be in a COE. Actually is the front of your motor going to be concealed by the cab?

I edited the OP to include build up photos.

Leo Santucci's Turbocharged 292 is the inspiration for the current build up of this motor project. I probably won't go turbocharged, or with a Studebaker body but we'll see. A build up progress shot of Santucci's motor. I'm not eager to add all (or most) of the casting details.

Anyone know what or if any motor was used in the b7000?

Thank you. I've had two 250s. Eventually I'll cast the 292 in resin and create a 250 as well.

I love inline 6 motors and I'm on a rat rod trend too. Last year the Chevy inline collection in my hoard grew 10x and most don't have the rest of the kit included. Santucci's power manuals are going to be overused when they get unpacked.

Looks good Pat!
