Looks like someone on here might be after building a real altered from back in the day.

Thats a Wayne head on a Jimmy?

Nice work .

hog mtn dave · 12-09-2010, 12:58 PM

**RichFox** · 12-09-2010, 01:13 PM

Appears to be a Horning/Fisher head. Is that original?

Kiwi Kev · 12-09-2010, 01:37 PM

marshall · 12-09-2010, 04:45 PM

You can get in with or with out the body up, It is a original Fisher/Horning 12 port head.

I'm still looking for a good 270/302 core with a 6 bolt crank, some where close to me .

57283 · 12-09-2010, 04:51 PM

Thats coming along real nice! Cant wait to see the intake and carb set up

Now THAT is how it's done. Well done!

curbspeed · 12-09-2010, 06:05 PM

Very impressive Marshall. That's how it's done. Steve was telling me about this one. Should be really cool. Will it be done for the March Meet? Perfect proportions. Are you going to flare the ends of the exhaust or leave them that way?

marshall · 12-09-2010, 09:17 PM

Were trying for the march meet, Mike is making the molds for the fuel injection, we dont
have alot left to do , just little shit , than take it apart for paint and crome

**Royalshifter** · 12-09-2010, 09:28 PM

**CGkidd** · 12-10-2010, 06:19 PM

Zig Zag Wanderer · 12-13-2010, 02:31 PM

oooh, this is going to be wicked. just the thought of a Skinner-headed Jimmy on Nitro in a real-deal '60's style altered gives me chills and night-sweats

THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER · 01-19-2011, 08:35 AM

Way cool thread. Great car. I'm working on a similar project, restoring The Last Logghe altered. It also has an inline six. But it is from a later era (1970s)

(<< not the one in my avatar)

Its been a few years, but I was able to buy all of the guts for them from SPE. They has a rebuild kit with the shim pack, bearings, etc. Mine had chips off the scroll and a "lumpy" feel. I also converted it from gear oil to grease.

marshall · 01-19-2011, 03:49 PM

I was just told Hanna is going to start making P&S boxes .
French your altered is cool.
We just got are block back from the machine shop today.

LDNFAST · 02-10-2011, 04:56 PM

Wow!

**CGkidd** · 03-24-2011, 09:12 AM

Any new pics?

rob-redm · 03-24-2011, 09:20 AM

went and picked up my carb that I forgot about last nite, this is going to be one very cool altered ! inline power !!

Diana The Doc · 03-24-2011, 09:59 AM

It's really encouraging to see altereds getting some play and attention... There's no denying that they played a big role in the hairy success of drag racing's past... While not getting the same degree of recognition from "mainstream" nostalgia novices as the diggers and floppers, for those of us who know better, we're aware of the drag strip "romance" associated with them... The ones pictured in this thread are beautiful... I commend anyone who is in the process of building an altered, you're courage to travel slightly off the proverbial beaten path is most admirable... Altereds hold a special place in the hearts of those who REALLY know their drag racing history... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

P.S. here's a youtube video titled "Ode the the Respirator Mask" that featured some "Winged Express" shots... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTrvVi7C_Qg
