Sparky, get a hold of me next time you need something. I will take care of you, if I can not make a price, I will straight out tell you. My main warehouse is one of the biggies. One of the main reason I am getting back into the parts business is crappy customer service I have seen from many vendors.

Good one Tman. I'm sure the guys will support you.

[SPARKY]

We went with the slightly smaller 171702  not as much Hp with the 500 in motors but can run them as A  and B motors they will realy shine with displacments in the mid 400 cu in range.

New here and I really enjoy this build in particular...

[SPARKY]

Welcome if you FlybyFord does that mean you own a TriMotor?? 

Glad you enjoyed the build, just curious what intrested you the most

John and I spent 2.5 hours yesterday just trying to outsmart paper--cutting out paperdoll hinges for the canopy.  I now may try to take on alum. pattern

---we better get back on it-- ordered 2 each of the Godspeed 50MM bov and wastegates I had 1 bov but 50MM are only rated for 500 hp each---the guy at BW said to make sure you had enough capacity.  I am planning on putting 2 on the intercooler plenum where the two turbos enter and 1 by the carb hat.

Hi Sparky

What is a 50mm bov?

Thanks, Don

bov = blow off valve

Sparky, I have a picture of Andrew Welkers hinge system on his canopy laying here on the bench. I could send it to you if it would help?

[DND]

Thanks Pete

As i recall they used to call them ' Pop off valves ' in the 70's

Something like an older trunk hinge?

[SPARKY]

Thanks C T,  something like that is what I have been trying to do but I "think" my issues are that part of my little pilot house extends below the surface and I am not getting the conflict of arcs--lol  just like a lot of other things I don't get   :-P

Brown Santa and the turbos are on the move--The Turbos have escaped Il. --made a scheduled stage change in Mo.,  picked up fresh horses in Ks scheduled to be here Fri.  we will be busy, busy, busy very soon!!

[SPARKY]

Pretty, Pretty, look at it, ain't  it purty--  lol 

Well it finally got here  the C&S 1025 blow through  purchased form Gordon at Superior Airflow; it should be good to a litttle over 1500.  I will be amazed if we work it up to over 1200 this season.  We have a lot to learn; thanks to all who are helping with the continuing ADULT education program.  If we are successful it will be because so many were unselfish with their insights, knowledge and help.

What are you doing for a carb hat?
