landman Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Cobbled up a pair of headers out of some parts bin finds. they look pretty good but should exit to the side otherwise it'll be a long run to the turbos.

landman Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Took another tack this morning and made some that exit to the side out of #14 electrical wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Completed the exhaust pipes. Added the tips, water lines and transaxle cooling lines. Touched a few things up. It sorta looks like the picture. Next, I have to build the stand and we're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Block with wings ... beautiful, including that underside!Thanks Mike. It does look like it has wings doesn't it. I bet that once you drop into the seat of a 956 and let her rip, it FEELS like it has wings too!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsideous Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've been buying piles of engines and parts for this. In there were this block and head. Painted them up and drilled out the exhaust ports in the head. Placed it on the shelf. Made a couple more engine stands and found the three wheeler in the bag of engine parts. Added another sign above the door. Used some square tubing and made the supports on the body dolly adjustable. fantastic work, where are you getting the little wheels for these parts? Are you scratching them or kit bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Found the tongue jack on the shop trailer a bit wonky. Took a 6/32 screw and turned one end to accept the foot and the other to accept the handle. Threaded a brass insert and voilà, we have a functional jack.

Foxer Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) FTB just completed a Ford SHO for a customer. Ahh... that looks good. I'm putting a SHO in a '32 and this engine is where I was having troubles, totally my fault for trying to detail too much! I made those tiny spark plug square ends and attached the wires into the sides but they keep detaching and can't get them glued back in. It looks like you painted a black square and drilled the wires in. Maybe I should step back from below ..

landman Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 And in the crates were two OHC engines. Both of them beyond rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) FTB has changed the display trio to two OHC engines which were developed for NASCAR and one to compete in the muscle car market but neither of them made it as intended.

landman Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Time to do another machine. Actually two who go together: a rod honing machine and a rod and cap grinder. Went to the shop for photos, sketches and measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
