Ludwig.The.Van Progress Report August 2022
I have visited the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum when I have taken vacation trips to Salem Oregon to visit my sister and her husband who live in Salem Oregon. I have seen this SR71 Blackbird and I have seen this starting cart that was used to start the engines of the SR71 Blackbird. I also have taken photographs of this SR71 Blackbird.
What brand of pull out draws are those?
You never took the gearbox apart, was wanting to see how that is done. I want to lubricate my old one as its likely never been apart. The aluminium pulley likely has to come off first looking at it. Some advice would be good.
454 BBC X 2, once they used up the junkyard Buicks.
Thanks for this. Our tub is completely rusted; we inherited it with our house 10 yrs ago and it was old then. Wouldn’t have thought to search for parts for it if I hadn’t seen your video. But now I’ve got three new pieces headed my way for 1/3 the price of a new one. 😊 and it saves me the trouble of trying to make something else work instead.
I love just how American this whole thing is “How are we gonna start our new jet boys?” “Grab a few V8s and let ‘er eat”
Beautiful Ole school trucks gotta love them
Hi everyone. Can someone please tell me, why the J58 is started with a mechanical connection to the starting-machine and not with pressured air like most of the jet-engines (f.e. J79) ? Thx a lot for answering.
They were eventually improved with the air system in the 80s. I would imagine that the required starting torque was too much for existing pneumatic systems when it was designed in the late 50's.

@@qfw181Hi. Thx a lot for the link and the fast answering. I've watched the linked vid and now the facts are clear. Greetings !
that metal looks prety thin - no?
The real star was at the beginning
Wow😮
Hey, Q! 👋 Here from IG story today 😆
I think they used multiple engines as they were available. They may have started with the 401 nailhead but I've also read they also used 425 cu in. Buick wildcat nailhead engines up until around 1970 when most switched to chevy 454 cu in engines. I've read some auxiliary bases never got rid of the nailhead engine carts and continued to use as needed.
My question is, how does it sound like that? Is it not an even-fire 4-cyl 4-stroke?
Depending on which iteration we were working with at the time, the firing order could have been set to what we called "big bang" or "even" There were two crankshafts and you could clock them to be timed in such a way to have an uneven firing order. It was not easy, we had to modify at least one of the 3 camshafts to make it happen, if not all 3.
Great video 👍🏼
Wow
Later in the 60’s and 70’s they used LS7 454 big block Chevy engines.
One question i did have is when you take the fuel line off will fuel continue to flow from the tank or does the pump stop the fuel from leaking? I see you have a akrapovic system have you done any remap or tuning? Thanks
No, the fuel stops at the connections. No remapping, strangely working fine for 20,000 miles
@@qfw181 I asked because I think I might put a rapid bike evo self learimg parallel ecm in with the akrapovic when I put one on
$10000 in labor lol
DINSTARR!!!! No Air Power without Ground Power!!!
Why not both 🤷🏼♂️😅
These guys were really stupid....all that needed to be done was build the motor correctly and balance it and no need to replace it over and over. What a waste. Plain stupidity....and they are engineers???? From where? Bubble gum University?
braaptalk sent me here.
lol
Are u able to pull the engine straight out on these or do u go down? I´ts on winter storage now :D
You mentioned TEB, are the igniters TEA-TEB, like in rocket engines?
Love that, I have got the same van in Germany but unfortunately a build like that is impossible with the german TÜV :/
I worked for a company out of a town near Marburg for a while, I had that conversation with a few people from Germany... so many rules.
Very cool truck. It's definitely saveable. I'd fix it.
That is what I am sayin'. I guess stay tuned until late April when I can get back to it!
Cab to hood gasket went bad and snow and rain rusted a hole through the air cleaner to. Engine will be rusted solid in one ofnthe pistons. Total rebuild time. Is it worth it for the truck?
We shall see... a rebuilt long block is ~2,500 up here in the NW. A godzilla is about 9k. 🤷♀️
One thing of note, the water certainly had been collected in the air cleaner housing, but the intake of the air cleaner housing is well below the height of the carb opening, so it is doubtful that water got in the engine (of course will check), the condensation from the rust pond in the air filter housing eventually just rusted the carb openings. Heck the corrosion might have sealed it up better for me! 😁
He has Never seen a thermal choke tube.
I had not! Bizarre old $#it
I wouldn't mind having it🤔😇✝️🙏❤️🇺🇲💯👍
Bro i had a hard time with my distributer and the points.
It happens, probably gonna go straight to petronix
The sound of threads nice 🤣
Oh man get that thing running I’m dyin to hear it turn over
Gonna have to wait a couple of months to get back down there.
Is that air conditioning?
With the little radiator at the top? Power steering
@@qfw181 that's what I thought but the little radiator was throwing me off. I've never seen that.
That's the tube that runs from the exhaust manifold to the choke on the side of the carburetor. When the exhaust gets warm, the choke starts to open.
I love the Ford small blocks. Actually, I love the big blocks too.
They're all fun
3/8 Milwaukee go brrr brrr
Good info!

Are u the guy RossCreations pranked?
I have no idea what you are talking about
Theyre pulling it out since the bike on track is gonna expirance WOT most of the time. Wot is wide open throtle)
Where's the exhaust?
Rare one of the first❤
But why? Whats it stealing from performance?
It isn't stealing any power, no. First, it is a restriction... and as a street machine it is a very necessary restriction for cold start-ups. Second, it is something else that could fail. If it does fail, it fails closed and that restriction is extreme and could blow up the engine in a race by overheating the system.
It's a Nova, boss. Bosanova?
Gorgeous
I can't fathom the amount of bodywork that took. Beautiful
That is gorgeous
My dude in the house alright alright Alright
My 1970 Dart had the two different heater core size hoses, that cars heater was so good you could cook a chicken on the passengers feet.
