Carlisle 2009 Pictures -- 56 K Annihilation Reply #30 – June 09, 2009, 08:07:21 PM That makes sense, Tom. Thanks. Paul, if they're set up for compressor duty, there wouldn't be any spark or fuel, just air. It looks converted, anyway, with those caps. The exhaust ports must feed the tank, though I can see that pipe coming directly out of the side of the head, through the gauges, direct to the tank. Slick, no matter how they have it ported, though I see no line from what I'm going to call cylinder #1 to the tank. I'd love to poke my head around and see how everything is plumbed.*edit*I can't believe I just called that the head.... on a flat-head. :hick: I'll change my tune and say block, not head.

The block, valves & pistons are likely std Flatty items, I'll guess it has a special cam so it can intake on every revolution, I honestly don't know... The head is special cast, note it has no provisions for spark plugs on the end cylinders... Also note there are only three exhaust ports center cylinders share a the center port... Which brings up a interesting little story...About 10 years ago I went to a customers house that had more models than I've ever seen in one place... They were displayed in very nice cases and most were high dollar pieces, generally detailed to the max... Anyway he had a '32 Ford with a flatty similar to Milner's in American Graffiti, and while I was admiring the collection asked me, what detail was wrong on the model... I instantly said "it has four exhaust ports, flattys only had three"... He said "well in x years(I don't remember how many he said) you're only the second person that could spot the error"... Said one older rodder that messed with them back when, spotted it... Quote Selected
Carlisle 2009 Pictures -- 56 K Annihilation Reply #32 – June 09, 2009, 09:01:39 PM I'd like to see some more pics of it too, especially the plumbing. It's piqued my curiosity enough that I'm actually trying to find info on it.Here's a pic of a flathead V8 compressor mounted on tracks. This one shows the center two cylinders being "compressor" and the outer two being "engine"*EDIT* Here is a link with some more pics of the one at Carlisle (the two cylinder heads are actually different from each other):http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2006/07/12/schramm-you-kids/...and here's a PDF file with some more info about it on page 3:http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/v-8northernvirginia/Valve%20Clatter/VC0409.pdf Quote Selected

That is a 24 stud Flat Head V8(post WWII) with a special head so the end cylinders are used as a compressor... Likely the center two cylinders are configured the same on the opposite side...I mentioned I thought that would be the case in my first post about it... That way one half of the intake only supplies air the other half supplies fuel and air to the "engine cylinders"...The 289/302 I saw configured as a compressor, was used on truck that did mobile big rig tire repair...

Carlisle 2009 Pictures -- 56 K Annihilation Reply #34 – June 09, 2009, 09:30:12 PM We had a 2 cylinder compressor rated for 25 HP at the hangar I worket at in the USAF. I coulda swore both cylinders had plugs....Looked EXACTLY like this one....Looking closely, I realize I was wrong. Quote Selected

There was a sign posted in the registration building that they now charge $10 to send an award to you. That's about all I know. Quote Selected

I love the '03'04 Mystic Cobra there, and the SVO's.It seemed less ugly in person. I drove one a couple of weeks ago - not bad I guess. Quote Selected

Totally ruined it for me.Unfortunately that ugly trunk spoiler is factory installed. I came very close to buying one of those SHO's about 10 years ago. The thought of having a practical family type car that had a V8 engine was pretty hard to pass up. My wife was pretty excited about it too until she layed eyes on it. Since it was going to be her daily driver she had the final say on the deal and I just couldn't convince her to look beyond some of the cars quirky styling features especially the huge oval rear window and that hideous rear deck spoiler.Brent Quote Selected

Carlisle 2009 Pictures -- 56 K Annihilation Reply #43 – August 25, 2009, 03:11:50 AM i didnt know there was still a market for the multi-changing paint, seemed like a 90's thing to me.And the 2010 stang to me is a remarkable redisign. I love the 03-04 style, the 05 lost me, they made it ok in 09, but the '10 calls to me. Quote Selected
