Hey Folks,
I just wanted to show ya,
The OHV V8-60 that I imported from Brazil is now a running engine! I adapted our shops Diesel "hot-run" stand to the engine,then I had the distributor re-built,some new plugs,wires,cap&rotor and used a 500cfm Holley 2bbl (from a friends Bronco)
Fires right up on the 1st try,every time.....and sounds great too
Here is a link to a video of the engine running

I "SIM-TESTED" the Emi-Sul on thursday nite after work.
The engine turns over real nice. I did a bearing check earlier in the week,every thing looked to be in good shape...especially for a 35yrs old engine!!
compression test showed all cylinders 120# compression (two cylinders actually had 130#) my test may be invalid though...I stupidly forgot to remover the engine lift plate from the intake manifold,thus choking the engine. I believe if I were to remove the plate and re-test the engine the results would be better. Oil flow was nice...all the valvetrain oiled well and functioned prpoerly.
The link is to some video of the test

it's just ol chunk of rust and dirt . you should send it to me for the cost of freight.

HAMB..... is that a place or person?

   

Tony,
Your killin me....
the freight was the cheapest part of this adventure....
it was all the red tape,documentation,fees,and bribes that was the killer.
Brazil and India are the 2 most taxed countys in the world on import/exports....I was told this AFTER I shipped my stuff or I'd just bought a donkey and a cart and rode that stuff here my * self!

I have been kinda lurking here for a bit, just never registered or posted before... you can learn alot by reading some of these forum threads.

To say I have NO "commercial agenda"  would be wrong. I definatly do have that.  BUT in my defense I am a die-hard car guy.(and a cylinder head machinist to boot)  I found these  fantastic OHV engines in my wifes country of Brazil, where they will most likely end up recycled into VW's and Fiat's(something I cant stand to think about) anyway i bought some parts and an engine, to see if there was a market for them here.....I sure thought it was the coolest little motor ever!

I have lots of spec's and factory manuals etc...
but thats enuf of that....if someone is interested they can contact me.

thanks
James
