Your pictures are there.
This is reminding me that I need to do something about the 3A2s in my 21CT55.... during the Superb owl and state of the union the color sync started drifting on longer programs... I changed the chroma osc tube adjusted the osc then went to bed. The next morning I got turned it on to see if the osc would sync cold, and before I could switch on my signal source I lost raster. The final 3a2 died... I was able to to confirm by swapping a weak one in. Now I gotta decide if I get more or build an SS substitute.

I configured a 1954 Austin Healey AH 100 with a big block 348 ci Oldsmobile V8 in mid 1957, 10 years before Shelby's 427 ci Ford big block. It had a curb weight of 2486# and a F/B ratio of 48/52% verses a weight of 2529# and F/B 48/52% for the Shelby 427. I have always wondered if Shelby was aware of the "OldsHealey" when he went "Big Block Cobra".
Seems Shelby's first attempt at a big block was to drop-in a 427 BB in place of the 289 SB, performed by his guys in Southern Calif. The guy that did the install apparently replaced a small block engine with a big block with no additional rear setback! He relates he went for a ride with Carroll thru the neighborhood. It was the most freighting time he had ever experience of his lifetime! Shelby was assembling 289 Cobras in a LA Airport Calif industry zone in Elsungundo, virtually adjacent to Inglewood Calif where I did my engine swap. Seems strange they came out with exactly the same 48/52% F/B ratio, the same 90 inch wheelbase and the same curb weight within 48# curb weight! Amazing! Big Block engines alone must have weighed 200# to 300# more than the Small Blocks with no additional rear setback! Anyway, I moved to Santa Inez Calif early 2000 to a Woodstock Calif 20 acre ranch with Judy and my classic cars: The '54 OldsHealey 418ci, '56 Chevy hardtop 327ci and '70 GTO 400ci are garaged along with a John Deer tractor and a golf cart. In all these 18 years I have only met two car guys. A neighbor Dan Gerber with competitive Healeys and Larry Westbury with a competitive Shelby Viper V10. I only rode passenger once with each. Dan's competitive Healey, and Larry's competitive Shelby Viper...... Scarry! Last edited by Tomcomm; 03-27-2019 at 05:55 PM. |

I thought the Viper came with a V10, not a V12.

A couple of points-1)-Other than a SLIGHT loss of sharpness, the 21CT55 puts on a picture that makes all the Super-Duper HDTV junque of today hang its collective head in shame-To ME, anyhow... And the "Sharpness" business just might be the vagarities of a 2nd or 3rd generation screen shot, not optimal original signal, whatever. Secondly, Ferd made a WILD motor in the late '60s-a single overhead camshaft 427. My little sick & deviant mind has BOGGLED a lot over WHAT could have happened had they pursued development w/this mill- a DOHC version w/4 or 5 valves per cylinder, modern electronic control, the whole 9 yards. And they NEVER bore these puppies out to rival anything like we had back in the day-Ford's V-10 is a "Secretary Special" at a piddling 413 cubic inches. When they trump Caddy's 500 CID w/say, 550 or bigger wDOHC, 4 valves per cyl, & are pushing out 1200-2500 BHP, then we'll know they're SERIOUS... Of course, me, being VERY "Anal-retentive", I'm still cheesed that they relegated Flatheads to the dustbin of history...

FLICKR email address?
Has any member attempted to change their FLICKR email address? I tried this
morning and got nowhere! Seems it's impossibly complicated. I've had my original one for at least 10 years: wschnerk@impulse.net. I want to change it to: tomcomm@impulse.net, no big deal?? Anyone? |
