The engine pictured was typical of
the time...bored out 100 over to a c.i.d. of 48 c.i. Stromberg
model 97 2bbl carb. Notice the modified oil pan that had water
lines running thru it to cool the oil(my dad's invention) and that
the motor is flywheel forward. The dynamometer was homemade using
a fish weighing scale and a torque converter from a Buick dynoflow
transmission stalling it by running water thru it ...by some
formula my dad worked out he could figure the h.p. output...on
gasoline about 60 h.p. on racing fuel..about 75 h.p.@ 9000r.p.m.
The torque he could read from the scale
