That's a SBC head in the first pic, most probable a SESCO Chevy... half a 327 w/ custom crank and cam, popular in Midget racing in the 60s and early 70s.

The head (in question)...........the 1500cc ohv Kent engine was inexpensive, stout, and easy to modify. Weber carbs and a smartly cast valve cover were the only upgrades for this installation, and the engine was backed up by what was basically a Volkswagen transaxle carrying Hewland gearsets.

The Vallelunga preceded this:

Worth a repost.....or 2

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30's. Then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization, yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' together, we could change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, & ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with.

I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

Who am I?

ADOLF HITLER.

I was thinking of a guy who posts hotlinks in the hot link thread.

In reply to 914Driver:

FAIL! No hot link 914Driver!!!!!

(Ignores Floundering)

Mine:

Could cook up a nice flounder here.

in reply to 914:

was gonna post a flounder but chose this instead.... just for the HALIBUT!

In reply to 914Driver:

I was thinking of Adolf Hitler pretty much from the beginning.

Protip: When Obama starts a world war and engages in a program of systematic genocide, I think the Hitler comparisons will be justified and apt. Until then, anybody who uses them either:

1. Lacks a basic understanding of history, scale and perspective

2. Is interested in provoking an emotional reaction in their audience in the hopes of blinding them to the facts. Much like HITLER!

Your entire post just goes to show that politics are rotten in any country or any era, from the top to the bottom.

Hotlink: the founder is dead.
