Thanks Andy, i will try some local guys and see what they have to say.

Hi, Just wondering if any one could point me in the right direction. I have a 25 inch 250 cu/in KEW motor that's in a dodge special race car. I have 3 X ball and ball carb set up at the moment and was toying of the idea of upgrading the camshaft to suit my historic racing. Can someone recommend a grind profile or know anyone who has done this before, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Paul.

Does any one know what diff ratios were available in 1935-1938 cars, I have a 3.55 and curious to know what othe ratios there were

I’m not quite there yet, when I get it all going in about 4-5 weeks I will post something

Hi I was wondering if anyone has fitted a modern type 12v starter motor, hi torque more compact style into a flat head 6 , mine is a 250, Paul.

He says that the standard ones aren’t up to it. Thanks you’re right with the chassis how do I get in contact with the Montana guys Paul.

I’m just going with their advice re bearings new engine will have a new cam. We will be keeping the triple ball and ball carbs. It has a set of hand made headers. we are putting forged pistons in the new engine, new modified sump and oiling system. I want to put an oil cooler in as well. its a chev 4 chassis approx 1938

Thanks Andy, i have got onto one of the guys (Paul Corey) in Sydney and he has some bearings that are being sent down. I am in Melbourne and the engine builder says that the standard bearings won't stand up to the racing application. We are also modifying the oil system and sump as well. I also contacted EGGE and they can get some as well, i went local as it just would be a bit quicker. Hopefully this should do the trick, Regards, Paul.

Thanks Guys, I have contacted Les and Paul in Sydney, they might be able to help. Sent an email to EGGE as well and hope to hear back. The car has raced at Winton with the previous owner, not sure about that article though. I will be at Winton as soon as im up and running. The bearings we are hoping to get are a Clevite or other tri metal type, copper lead, to suit high performance. Paul.

Thanks Guys, I have tried them and no luck, Paul.

I haven’t had much luck finding these bearings as yet, Jim Robinson is on holidays and the only number I can find for Les is disconnected. I have emailed a lot of suppliers in the US including Mark with no success. I’ll keep searching Also got myself a manual off eBay?

Thanks Guys that's been very helpful, I have had experience with the Texas/Aus conversation and it can be quite interesting sometimes. I've called Jim Robinson but he is on holidays until September. I will try Les in Sydney and Mark at rdusaclassics We are modifying the oiling system as well Thanks again, Paul.

Can anybody help, looking for some tri metal main bearings for my 25inch 6 cylinder, iam located in Australia. Going to be used in Dodge special race car, Also looking for all the torque settings for that motor, Thanks, Paul.
