Administrators BRAAP Posted October 4, 2008 Administrators Share Posted October 4, 2008 Stumbled on this odd duck ‘60’s INDY engine. A Turbo charged Rambler straight 6. Thought you might enjoy it as well. There is something cool about using OE production parts, (block, crank, reground OE cam, rockers, head), in one of the top echelons of motorsports...

blairjj Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Paul, This engine reminds me of the coverage that Hot Rod usually gives to the Bonneville runs. I love looked at what people can cobble together. Never ceases to amaze me. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I like the exhaust/intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 That is when Indy was fun, turbine cars, stock block against special racing engines. Now they are all the same engine, chassis and are almost as boring as a restritor NASCAR race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Are there any pictures of the completed manifold? That looks pretty awesome, I love that kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Too bad that Indy has lost the inovators and has just bercome business for the realllly rich. My best friend's father raced against Parnelli Jones and Art Pollard. He would tell stories of those days that you would never hear from todays racers. i've always loved the 500, but its hard to identify with the modern cars. they may be faster, but there isn't anything IMHO as pretty as a Watson Roadster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
