Who here owns a Classic stock motor?

[dg22]

I'm new at this and building my first D classic motor with a 55H tower and a 1961 Merc 500. I hope this old girl holds together for more than one race .

Stock Motors

I have two KG7Hs, KG4Q, Mark 20H, Mark 15 racer, KG7Q, 25SSH, 25SS Mod. All get used, except the mod motor, due to noise, but I use to race it. Started in 20H with a conversion which I sold cheap in the 80s. Been kicking myself since.

I have one of these:

[STEVE FRENCH]

Got a Roy Miner built KG-4H that was Bill breaux's and belonged to steve Hearn family before that.

My KG-4/20H MOD with duel Quincy pipes and KG-4/Hurricane tank, that I still run at Waterford, Ont. Thanks Brian Hendricks for your help last year!!!!

Building a D-Classic from a Merc 400.

Sold my (2) 20H conversion towers cause of unbelievable E-bay value and to build other motors I can run on nearby lakes without getting tossed/shot......

Atomic A is in the restoration process but I couls send you the pics. I have to this point. still have a lotof work to do. There are 5 of them around that I know of in this area. Intrested if anyone hahas seen another Swift B utility around.

[CatsMeow]

If anyone knows where I can find the proper steering wheel and hub for the
atomic A, it sure would help.

Chrysler

Have a Chrysler 302-30ci. that is still a legal engine in NBRA-AOF C-Mod class. This engine won 2 championships, was fast and reliable. We would most probably still be running this engine but parts became an issue.

Kanier steering wheel...........

If anyone knows where I can find the proper steering wheel and hub for the
atomic A, it sure would help.

Most of the Swift hydros that I have seen or seen pictures of had the " Kanier " steering wheel in them. I would bet that many people who frequent this web site have a few hanging around the garage.
There is one presently on ebay right now ( # 4605962916 ). Right steering wheel, wrong pulley. You will see these on there from time to time. I have seen ones like you are looking for go for more than $100.00.
I am looking for a Swift " Big Bee "..............anybody????
