Twice the horsepower and proven reliability!
This is a partial list of what's included in this package:
Z head
Stipe 280 Cam
Stainless steel valves
Adjustable lifters
Smoothed intake and exhaust ports - "polished and ported"
New High flow intake manifold
New NH style carburetor
New exhaust manifold
Modified Nylon Timing Gear - "degreed" to allow peak performance from your engine.
This requires explanation. We don't trust the dots on these gears. We check to make sure the cam and crank are mated in a manner that will give you the most power. "just line up the dots" is not good enough. And we have found that lining up the dots can end up being off up to 12 degrees in either direction.
So instead of rolling the dice, we check every engine. This is part of the "blueprinting" process.
Original style Babbitt bearings - lapped in, not burned in
Modified VW 009 distributor or other type of modern ignition system (i.e. True Fire)
Aluminum Pistons
Magnets and Field removed - less rotating mass
Oil Slingers installed on the flywheel
Oil dippers on the rods
Transmission oil screen
Kevlar band linings
Modern Clutch
Rebuilt Starter
Rebuild Generator or Alternator
Everything is computer balanced and precision aligned.
Other shops may quote you a lower price. Ask what you get for your money! Balancing and aligning is the single biggest thing you can do to improve you engine and extend it's life.
With this package, you will get back an engine that you can drop into the car and drive off. No B.S. with this engine.
You do need to provide us with a good base to work from. If your crank, drums, or block is junk we will work hard to find a replacement at your expense.
This package does not include re-pouring the mains in the block. New caps are included in the price, 99% of the time the caps are worn (they take all the abuse) and the block is ok. Re-babbitted caps are cheap, re-pouring the block itself is not cheap.
If you have any questions about this package, or would like to make an appointment to have this done to your engine, feel free to call or send us an email.
I straightened out all the dirty fuel filter issues and took Ol' Lizzie for her usual ride to the gas station today. My son-in-law was there on his way over to my mom's house for New Years. I had him follow me and tell me how fast I was going. On one of the long stretches I pulled the throttle all the way down, the engine felt like it had plenty left, it wasn't straining or felt like it was wound tight. I suspect that the carb has a little more stroke in it that the throttle linkage, the way it's set up right now.
When we got to mom's, I asked him what my highest speed was? TRY THIS OUT, 50+ MPH!
That's more than I could ask for and I'm not going to mess with the throttle linkage to see what else I could get out of it. In the car's present condition, I'm not the least bit interested in doing this again.
I've said this before, I'll say it again. Every time I drive this thing, it's runs smoother and better! I know what I've got is a work of art! I couldn't be more delighted with your product! I can honestly say that your "Hot Rod" engine will move a Model T down the road in excess of 50 MPH for anybody crazy enough to want to go that fast in one.
When the time comes to rebuild the original engine back to bone stock, I can't think of any reason why I would ship it anywhere else.
