Some Hemi engines and a trans in my sons shop.
I learn something and see new things everyday. I usually get stuck cleaning parts or disassembling. But I am always taking peaks at things that strikes my curiosity. Last night we went to a old engine shop for Head studs. The guy had a box full of adjustable rockers. He left my son take 16 adjusters with jam nuts.
They were discussing a Mega block that was there . It is getting a torrington Style thrust bearing for use with a slipper clutch. I couldn't even become part of that engineering conversation. But I was amazed and occupied at all the race heads , blocks and parts new. This guy knew what was coming and bought all the race parts up and has them stored.
We didn't get out of there until very very late. I'm going back to get all those rockers . $175 for a box of 48 I didn't recognize them and he didn't know what they were for. Went through our parts and discovered they are Max Wedge. Even if I never use the rockers the adjusters are worth the price.
I just walked to the shop to see what he is doing so he could set me up with resurfacing rockers. He is baby sitting his daughter so I grabbed some pictures.
There are so many motors of all brands Some I don't even know what they are. But I did recognize a Ford flat head. Small block Dart block, Pontiac, poly 318, BB mopar, FE ford, Subaru. There are so many engines here in the trailers and on pallets at the other shop I'll be dead before he gets to them. But he don't have to worry about a job,
