Going to be a sad day when this man leaves us

Larry, Gotta build some heat in the engine before kicking in the nitro. Nitro doesn't like a cold start. Keep working on stuff, thanks for watching!!!!!!!!

It's not so much that as the supercharger can become a very dangerous projectile if it's started immediately on nitro and not alcohol and has a backfire through the intake. We use supercharger straps and diapers on them nowadays so if it does have a backfire and lifts the supercharger off the intake, it doesn't get bystanders hurt or killed. We lost people during the 1960s and 1970s before they started putting them on.

Its like when walking down the street and the acid kicks in🤣

great vid BG...shows the man...as the man! thanks

Could you get a Flathead Ford with Ardun heads to run like this I wonder? With those heads installed, the engine effectively becomes an OHV hemi, so in theory it should work. With only 3 main bearings I'd be worried about the crank snapping at some point, though.

Dustin, making one run on fuel isn't too difficult, seems like it'd be tuff getting the bottom end to hold up. Thanks for watching, keep working on stuff!!
