Hi everyone, does anyone know of someone who pours babbitts in Florida, central Florida?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the info everyone. It is appreciated.
The guy selling it is going to send me pictures with the head off. I suppose that is better than nothing.
It’s not local to me so I have to go by his word and hopefully decent pictures.

I corrected the bore to .030 not .30

I’m looking at a chassis that has an engine in it that supposedly was bored .030 over. It was rebuilt 30 years ago and never ran. Supposedly can’t be turned by hand, but says this....

“ The guy I bought it from turned it over with a screw driver with the starter pulled.”

Thoughts?

That would be great. Look forward to seeing them.

Definitely interested in learning more about this.

Beautiful speedster! Currier?

Definitely a “period correct” way of lowering a T.
