Norm Sappenfield: Hot rod guy still making souped-up engines at age 84
OT gotta boast - rebuilt flathead ... - Yesterday's Tractors
Norm's daily driver is an older Maserati Quattroporte with a tricked-out BB Chevy motor.
He recently rebuilt a 1916 Cadillac V8 for a local funeral home that is restoring one of its old vehicles. The crankcase was composed of several alloy castings, one of which was damaged. That casting alone cost the funeral home $12K to replace. Norm dynamically balanced the entire, huge, rotating and reciprocating assemblies.
