And now on this weeks to tell the truth...

Bill,

Can we get some pictures up here? I think Jack and I would like to see what this guy has......While we're at it, does anyone have pics of the Brutus '65 GTO FC when it was running a M/T Pontiac hemi? I've only seen pics from the side and not of the motor.

I don't know whether any are for-sale; my three aren't. As for price... how much would you pay? I was really fortunate to deal with Mickey for the pair I bought from him back in about '85; he charged me what they listed for in his 1963 catalog!

But- there's a down-side to it. I can't tell you how many times people have walked away from my machine, muttering about "...it's an early Mopar hemi; why does it say 'Pontiac' on it?" My only salvation was to indoctrinate the announcers to include a short spiel about the M/T hemi, so when the fans visited the pits they wouldn't just shrug it off as a Mopar.

Do you by chance have that 63 Catalog? I wonder if it might be what that one page I posted was, and if there is more to it?

Steve,

Not sure if Jack has one but I have a M/T Performance Handbook that shows some nice stuff. The page you posted is not in it though, you must have a different one.

Rob.....

Rob

Too many pages to post? Could you at least scan the cover page, so I can try to find one and will know what I'm looking for?

Steve

misterp266 · 10-06-2005, 08:36 PM

Steve, I'll scan a few pages this weekend and post the cover at least. I can e-mail you more if you're interested. I have seen them for sale, not very often but I have seen them. Here's a link to some pics of my hemi stuff.

Unbelievable!!!! WOW

tom s · 10-06-2005, 08:57 PM

I think I have seen a block like that before!FYI,check the O rings on the removeable rear cam plug!Mine leaked REAL bad.Tom

Steve Hoog · 10-06-2005, 09:12 PM

Tom I dunno about you, but those Hemi heads and especially that Hilborn injection... man they just do it for me. To top it off he has one of THE blocks, Rob is one lucky man!!!!

Tom, never had the plate off the back to see what was under it but I'll take a look, thanks....

tom s · 10-06-2005, 10:17 PM

with mine the O rings were there but were the wrong size to seal.I fought the block for better than 2 years with oil leaks.We found that was leaking along with the threaded plug on the rear drivers side.Tom

My M/T catalog is copyright 1964. But I'll just sit on my duff and wait for Rob to do some scanning for you!
(Thanks Rob!)

Steve Hoog · 10-07-2005, 12:12 AM

Rob's going to let me use his pics for the base of a MT Hemi page, working on it right now. I definitely want a couple of cool documents to go with it, if possible.

Jack Gifford · 10-07-2005, 12:15 AM

Tom S- Just so I understand correctly- is Rob's block one of those few alloy RAV's that were sold by Jim Luikens and Tom Straley?
I've offered to help Rob (if I can) with setting up a nostalgia machine with that block and his hemi heads. Any special comments about the block? How are the sleeves retained- press or shrunk fit? Do you know if notches for the hemi pushrods will break into the water jacket? Thanks.

Jack Gifford · 10-07-2005, 12:22 AM

Steved400- For your M/T hemi page- if you want pictures of my blown hemi, do you have the Mar/Apr '99 PE magazine? Or perhaps PE keeps old stuff on their website? If not, I could loan you some photos- either my scanner software is messed up or I don't know how to use it- can't get good images.

Steve Hoog · 10-07-2005, 12:25 AM

I don't have any PE back that far, I'd be very happy to put any MT Hemi pics up. There just isn't much out there on them.

And for what it's worth, anything Tom S says about the DS-1001 block... I would take it for gold.

NHRASuperStock455SD · 10-07-2005, 12:34 AM

I was watching a show one night....low and behold a tractor with 3 normally aspirated engines. It won it's class in tractor pulling, and it had 3 455SD motors on it. I couldnt believe it.

I bought the tape! It was way cool. Just thought it was relevant to that other tractor.

And here I try to make HP out of them, lol

Steve Hoog · 10-07-2005, 12:48 AM

I'll polish it and get some thumbnails another day, I'm tired. Cool stuff is all I can say.

Now if we can just get a picture of those mysterious aluminum RAV heads, I think all will be done.
