new technoloy, older technology

Each month several automotive trade magazines arrive in the shop mail.

Today I was looking over the latest 2015 Corvette engine details. Whew, high tech by buckets full.

Then the thought came to me, there will be a day when we have automotive clubs who specialize in antique automotive engine's, you know, like 327 & 350 small blocks and such items. Maybe a sub category older designed carburetors and point type distributors.

There are already antique tractor clubs, steam engine powered clubs, just as well be an antique automotive engines club.

We will have the engines set up on portable stands to test run and show off.

Might even make different classes for solid lifters and hydraulic lifters.

A contest to see which engine can idle the slowest.

And of course, a special section for flat head engines.
