Technically a motorcycle, so no seat belts and the helmet would be up to the state you're in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borg warner Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 11 hours ago, Schmidt Meister said: 1966 Buick Special Deluxe 300ci V8 The 300 cubic inch V8 was what replaced the 215 cubic inch aluminum V8. It was a very similar small block engine with some parts even interchanging but had a cast iron block with a larger bore and stroke. People who hot-rodded the 215 aluminum block would use the 300 crank to increase the stroke and install larger sleeves to increase the bore and get 305 cubic inches out of the little aluminum block. It was a popular engine swap for the little Opel GT. the one that look like a baby Gen 3 Corvette, only better, in my opinion. The aluminum V8 weighed no more than the 4 banger that it replaced and had xlnt weight distribution and handling characteristics, The car only weighed 2000 pounds and i was easy to get 300 Horsepower put of a bored and stroked aluminum V8 and even the standard displacement 215 could put out a lot of power not to mention that it was one of the most beautiful cars ever made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borg warner Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 6 hours ago, Eric said: That is a 1941-48 Ford. The 1941 Ford was thoroughly updated in 1941, in preparation for a time of unpredictability surrounding World War II. The 1941 design would continue until 1948 when the more modern 1949 Fords were ready. During the initial year of this car, considerable changes were made. The front fenders came in three pieces, the theory being that small damages could be replaced easily. During the year, it evolved into two pieces with the lower front and back sections being joined. The hood risers changed, the early ones being the same as 1940 Fords, changing during the year to the better later version. Five different coil/distributor arrangements were used during 1941, causing confusion for mechanics. Other variations were: two different positions for the generator, and three for the cooling fan — front of the crankshaft, front of the generator (rare) and on a bracket. 1941 was the first year Ford offered a replaceable cartridge oil filter as an option. There were two interior heaters. The"Southwind" gasoline burner, which had the advantage of keeping one warm in winter at drive-in movies (provided a small electric fuel pump was used), and a more ordinary hot-water type. Both had window defrosters. Electric windshield wipers were available in addition to the vacuum-powered wipers. Three different convertible power top mechanisms (vacuum, electric screw, and hydraulic) and two different header bar latching systems were used. Rear suspensions sometimes had a sway bar, most did not. The '41 had improved brakes and was among the best handling of ordinary cars of the time. Ford vehicles had been V8-only since 1935, but dealer requests for an "economy" engine option prompted the introduction of a six cylinder unit. The entry-level 136 CID V8 was switched in favor of a new 226 CID L-head straight-6, the first Ford six since the 1906 Model K. The popular 221 CID V8 remained as the top-line engine and was standard in De Luxe models. Both engines were rated at 90 hp. The 239 CID engine, introduced in 1939 for Mercury and trucks, was continued in the Mercury models. The chassis was longer by two inches, with a 114-inch wheelbase. The "ignition key" for these cars was actually used to operate a bolt lock which, on one end, unlocked the steering column (a feature destined to return, mandated, decades later), and on the other end unblocked the ignition switch, allowing it to be operated. Starting the car was then accomplished by pressing a pushbutton on the dashboard, another feature destined to return with the advent of "smart keys". Although starting cranks had been replaced by electric starters for decades, Ford cars included a manual starting feature until 1948 as an antidote to dead-battery syndrome. The wheel-lug wrench served as a handle (also for the jack) and the jack shaft with bayonet-coupling pins could be inserted through a small hole in the grille to engage a bayonet socket on the forward end of the engine crankshaft. A quick-and-easy twist of the handle was usually sufficient to start the flat head V8, and the bayonet coupling was self-disengaging for safety. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
