We sure had a ball!

I actually got some of this idea from watching you fire up that 3 deuce in your garage - wasn't that on youtube a year or two ago? or was that somebody else? We've always had car shows, why not an engine show? The most ironic thing is that I did not do very much to this engine beyond cleanup. Most folks following this thread have already viewed the footage of this Y running in the parts car. I just pulled it, cleaned it, did some minor adjustments, and ran it. I could not believe that this thing does not smoke at all.

The former owner had the crankcase tube plugged - found that out pretty quickly. I opened it up out of curiosity. It did drip a little (from the inside of the tube) - but that pcv deal can easily fixed with the right valley pan setup. I like what I did to my father-in-law's car.

Keep up the good work out there on the left coast.

Tim, I have got to bore this thing out a little more and get a bigger cam (of course, multiplying my carb by 3 wouldn't hurt either). I had forgotten the sound of that youtube motor - makes mine sound like she's starving for air!!!

NICE!
