Ford had problems with them early on, but there's "fixes" for them.
Most brands have issues with early, "prototypes" that they sell us guinea pigs.
Due to the nature of plastic though, I don't anticipate the manifolds to be usable on a 70+ year old car.

There's a lot of other stuff that won't be usable in a 70 year old car by then too!

But, there's old stuff out there that failed at high rates too. Try find an original flathead Ford V8. Lots of them are cracked. We just forget about the stuff that fails, and 60 years later it's faded from memory.

I think a lot of the reason that older hardware is still available was the power per cubic inch was low. When you start pushing power density up, reliability and lifetime suffers. Some of those old flatheads would make 1/10th of a HP per cubic inch. They just weren't pushed hard enough to hurt themselves.

In my experience Honda does that with their small engines. They last forever because they keep them detuned.

Every design is a compromise. Cost, power, expected lifetime. When we want a lot of power and low cost we get plastic in our cars. Don't forget we're telling these guys what we want by what we buy. (Except when the government sets limits and rules, etc.)

I remember going to a school auction with dad, where we picked up a 1950 Chevy Suburban for 50 bucks. They said it had been sitting for 20 years.
We spent one day cleaning up the fuel and ignition systems, changing tires, then drove it around town....
I love that old stuff!

The bulk of my anvils are from 1947. Inline eights, one version the largest engine outta Deeetroit that year (and the next two, also) and had the highest top speed in the o/d models. Forty-one hundred pounds and 107MPH, more or less. The funny thing is, my driver doesn't rattle. At all. Of course, they used 8 bolts where Henry Ford would have bitched about the 2nd one.

I remember readin' it before. I hope you end up getting it. That's the fun stuff I like playing with. Have a similar-ish project with LS heads and an inline six planned.

My only thought reading about that one was using pipe plugs on the deck of the block. Lock-n-Stitch are good because the thread profile pulls the surrounding metal together. Tapered pipe, is, tapered pipe. Probably enough iron around to that you don't have to worry, something else might have been slightly better.

You're one up on me. I only looked at the pictures. I also wonder if the old 356 block was the best choice because there is the newer (still a flattie) design 359 which has the same kind of bulletproof bottom end and saves some mass, and therefore some weight. Just found out the damned thing is in New England, so that adds logistics to deal with. Wat's Best Guess: nobody else will buy the fucker.

Spot on, but these big 2-stroke diesels get a prelube and a "blow down" to clear the cylinders prior to startup.

A little lube and blow ....wonderer?

Dr. Tyler did make some strides today. She still needs to rest up, but she's off the dope and is eating a bit. We'll see how this goes. She's going to a rehab facility upon discharge. What happens after that is still to be determined.

How do you leach the potassium?

Slow day today. Had all sorts of big plans, most of which didn't get done. The bed was feeling all nice and soft, and I drifted off for a few hours. Was awoken by a dinner call, pot roast with taters and carrots out of the garden. Slow was a flying earlier today, so that warm dinner hit the spot!

Now I'm vegging in front of the TV...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

G'night, Spoonies. Off to read . . . .

Today was a good day.

Started off with a hare brained scheme with a friend. We’ll see how it shakes out.

But I got an early start and got the solar kiln almost all the way framed out. I’m certainly not an expert carpenter, and I’m sure some of you may find fault with how I’m building it, but I feel pretty good about it.

when I got to a stopping point, I split some firewood and then went up into the woods to see what kind of havoc this week’s wind did on the ash trees. Took two pretty good ones down. They were across the trail and as I tried to clear it, I realized that one of them had a huge poison ivy vine going up the side.

I’m super allergic, but chainsaw it very carefully use an ax to strip it off the trunk. It had a shit load of little branches coming off, and I know that the roots have the most concentrated oil.

As soon as I was done, I stripped off my clothing and washed it and took a shower.

Then an early fire , dinner and now watching the World Series. Go Jays!

Peel cut in small pieces and soak in plain water. I soak for several hrs and i chamge the water a few times. Then i boil and that helps too

It is. It’s the old mill building on our farm. We don’t have an exact date, but most of the records seemed to indicate that it was built in 1789.
