oldtimer Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Interesting. This is what the old Alfa 1900 head looks like: Not to step on any toes, I just love this stuff! Yeah, it's a hemi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Spinner Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wrong 289, Duke. This is a STUDEBAKER 289, not that brand-X crap! Factory forged steel crank, gear driven cam, solid lifters, STOUT forged steel rods--they NEVER come apart, Well, not NEVER--saw one explode running 14 pounds of boost from dual Paxtons once. Studebaker head (with a bit of work I must admit!), Intakes are 2.02, exhaust a puny 1.54. But these flow pretty well for heads designed in 1951 (this version is the "big valve" head brought out in 1957 for the Golden Hawk). Studebaker introduced the all-steel pickup bed in 1937. Chevy followed about 25 years later. Uh-Oh .... no Stude's around here ... they all rotted out in the '60's ....[:S] 'cept maybe for an Avanti, or two...... a Lark , in disguse [] 299 ci. R-3 motor ... " Jet Thrust" .. cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
