McMulloch Supercharger and engine at car show
Went to first car show held at Owasco lake this summer. Usually draws around 650 cars. Showed up at 9:00 and couldn't believe the cars already there. hardly any room left for parking. Was walking around the vendors(usually the first thing I do) and saw sometyhing that made me slow down but I kept walking. About 2 vendor farther down I stopped and said no way and ran back to the first vendor. Yes there it was a nice McCulloch Supercharger in real nice shape, asking price $1,000. Guy selling it had just taken it off his 52 ford engine and said it ran like a top. Unfortunetly didn't have the $$. My wife showed up about 1 hr. later and I had to show her the supercharger(usually if she know I want something bad, she might buy it for me but not today as it was sold). Now next to it on another table was something that made me almost run back and get my check book. A 46 flathead engine bored .125 over, 3/4 cam. 3 94's, 4" crank, 225HP and he ran it for everyone for 12 minutes showing a temperature of no more than 190 degrees. Ran it up to 5200 RPM's and it sounded sweet. Asking price? $2500. It had been magnaflux with no cracks and it wasn't sleeved. Some really nice stuff at the show this year with 725 cars showing. Came in 2nd for best Chevy street rod truck. Alot of fun.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
