Speed Queen II with 92 c.i. twin

[Jack Gifford]

The crank is on its way back to Moldex, to be repaired enough to use cylinders 1&4 as a twin. The hemi head is at the welding shop awaiting TIG closure of gaping holes in the water jacket. I wasted some time messing with the non-working thermostat, before realizing it really isn't needed- I can simply leave the electric pump off during warmup. I wanted to relocate the temperature gauge sensor, but it was mechanical and the tube was too short. So I bought a new electric temp gauge- much more flexibility of sensor location.

OK Jack, I locked your old thread so it is ended, per your desire....
Have you figured out a firing order for your new engine     

[Rex Schimmer]

I got to thinking about Bob's comment about deciding your firing order and you could certainly make it a "twingle" but you would probably have to mount it in your lakester with "jello" motor mounts! It will probably be a real shaker no matter what firing order you decide on.

Turn slow and use a BIG flywheel.

The firing order might be the same a Ross's Harley 1-2

So you started out as half a V-8 now its going to be half a four.

 If the car is heading in the right direction down the coarse the answer would be        yes ?

I'm a big proponent circulating coolant during warm up to prevent excessive heat buildup at the exhaust valve seat. Stationary coolant can spot boil in place if left long enough, that's also why I run a thermostat with a bypass circuit.

But Mickey Thompson beat me to it about 65 years ago, with his blown two-cylinder Pontiac. It made 257 HP on 25% nitro at only 5,200 RPM- was shaking the dyno too much for more revs. But it did set a B'Ville record.
