Reply to "PIcked up Project 48 today"

When I first built the car back in the early 80’s, I built up the existing motor to an 1850 with a motor kit from JC Whitney!  I ran that for about 10 years and it was plenty of fun. Under carbureted, under exhaust flowed, built into an unreinforced case that I had bored at a local machine shop.  And, it worked! Until, a hot August day when the case just said, “all done!”   I was in Florida for vacation and picked up a fully rebuilt 1600 for a steal at Fisher Buggies in Tampa and have used that ever since.  This kit from CB Perf is a world away in quality and components from my previous two motors!  I just want it to last as long as I do! Lol ;-0. 

I have built about 6 other motors since those early days, restoring bugs and busses. Again, the case, heads and everything else is nicely machined and balanced from CB including the flywheel, crank, rods & pistons.  Weighing each piece, they are on the money for matched weights. This will be the smoothest runner I have ever assembled!
