SC Tiger Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 12 hours ago, tous said: The Royal Air Force let Douglas Bader fly with two prosthetic legs, so maybe a leaky heart valve wasn't disqualifying. Mr. Shelby did indeed have a hell of a life and we are better off because he did.  Supposedly Bader handled g-forces better than most because of that. Where it normally sent most pilots' blood into their legs, in his case it (theoretically) gave him an erection. 12 hours ago, Eric said: I always wondered how he accomplished so much with heart problems. How did the Army Air Corps allow him to fly, for instance? He had a hell of a life. They needed pilots. Bad. And did they even know about the heart problem at that time? I thought he found out about it when he was racing. 13 hours ago, Eric said: Name the second guy in this photo and you may be a car guy. Not gonna say but I think he played Matt Damon in the movie. Or maybe I got that backwards. 11 hours ago, tous said: A hot rod guy I knew, when I asked, Supercharger or turbo? replied, if you can go up: supercharger. If you can't, go sideways: turbo. Unless the engine is exposed, it all depends on where the empty space is. Is that a striaght-six or a straight-eight flathead? Hard to tell even after counting the ports for the exhaust manifolds. Supercharger is easier to retrofit if you have the room.  I see 8 exhaust and 4 intake ports. I assume the intake ports are siamesed so that one runner feeds two cylinders.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I believe that supercharged Packard flathead straight 8 is installed in a 1937 Ford Pickup. The windshield, cowl vent and hood panel flanges are correct anyway. They obviously had to relocate the battery box from the center of the firewall though.  5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
