Unique ride
 

This thing is pretty cool. Lots of innovation. Anyone know it’s builder?

I like the naked look of that engine. Reminiscent of a dragster. Coolant must be exiting at the rear of the heads?

It is coming out of the front of the block of the block.

The alternator is mounted under the crankshaft. Pretty wild set up all together.

Pretty slick how far he pushed the motor back into the cowl

Did sumthin similar with my 29 HiBoy and notched the sides for the rear pipes

I may be mistaken but doesn't the water return into the block and exit through the heads

That front combination mounting plate/timing cover is unique. It looks like it's stamped Edmunds, and I believe that company went out of business in the 1950s so it would have been for an early Pontiac V8. I wonder if it's a piece designed for marine use.

This car reminds me of the Purple People Eater - I think it's owned by Alex Izardi and/or his brother Marky, they're in the Shifters car club in California (I also think Alex is a member here on the board who posts occasionally, hopefully he'll see this - he may know more about the car above.) Their car has a blown 316ci Pontiac that has been run at different times with fuel injection or eight carbs.

That is a front plate for a jet boat. Pretty sure it's an Edelbrock.

I would think so I'd like to see the rear of the engine and where he put the radiator. That would have to be a high amp alternator to be able to run the pump that has to be moving the coolant as well as the fan(s) pulling or pushing air through the radiator. A neat car however he did it!
